Love By Storm: A Clean Instalove Short Read

The moment I step into Storyteller’s Nook to escape the rain, I don’t expect to find anything more than a warm, dry space and maybe an old novel to flip through. But then I lock eyes with the man behind the counter, and suddenly, the storm outside is the least of my concerns.

Liam Walker isn’t just any bookstore owner—he’s charming, thoughtful, and amazinly guarded. A writer struggling with a crippling creative block, he has a heart full of untold stories but refuses to believe in his own talent. And me? I’m Ava Miller, an artist searching for inspiration in this quiet coastal town before heading off to my next big adventure. Falling in love is definitely *not* on my agenda.

But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the way his words set my imagination on fire. The way the intensity of his gaze makes my heart race. The way we fit—like two parts of a story that were always meant to find each other.

Still, love isn’t as simple as it seems in the pages of our favorite books. Between Liam’s family obligations and my fear of being tied down, we both have reasons to walk away. But when something feels *this* right, when a connection runs *this* deep… do we dare risk it all, or let fear write our ending?

Love by Storm is a clean, heartwarming, short, and sweet romance novellete. Love at first sight, Low angst, Low heat. High emotions.
