She hides in books. He sees her anyway.

Jasper

When my sister asks me to date her best friend, I don't say no.

Are you kidding? Sarah Tolliver has owned me since the day we met.

What does my sister forget to mention? The shy little bookworm doesn't know I'm her date. And she's hiding a lifetime of grief behind those pretty eyes.

I show up anyway. I scare off the guy hitting on her. I take her home with me.

And I make one thing clear: She's mine.

She thinks love is something that breaks you. But I've spent my life protecting what matters.

I'll be her shield. I'll keep her safe.

And I won't ever fail her.

Getting roped into a blind date by my best friend was destined to end in disaster. But I didn't expect to be propositioned before drinks… or to be rescued by him.

I've loved Jasper Medlock in secret for years. But he belonged to the Navy. I belonged nowhere.

Until now.

The way he looks at me should scare me. The way he calls me his should send me running.

It doesn't.

But I've already lost my entire family. Risking my heart with the only man who's ever held it?

That might be the most terrifying thing I'll ever do.

I've never been brave.

But for him, I want to be.

Good girls need spicy books. At least, that's the philosophy at this small-town bookstore. But the group of bookish friends who call the store home never planned for the feral men willing to fall at their feet... or for the lengths they'd go to secure their own happily-ever-afters.

Now, they're up to their elbows, in over their heads, and the only experience they have with navigating love comes from the books they read.

What could possibly go wrong?

Book of Love i s a small-town rom-com series set in Wine Country that's high on heat and laughter, and low on drama.
