Cue the nervous flop sweat.In a tiny town on the coast of Rhode Island, Maggie has built a quiet life running her family’s bookshop. But as much as she loves her work—and the eclectic town she calls home—something is missing. Then one day, an absolute smoke show walks through the front door and throws Maggie off her (arguably, very small and unreliable) game.Parker’s entire life blew up a few months back when she walked away from her home, job, and longtime girlfriend, all in a single day.When a new job presents itself in the next state over, she jumps at the chance for a fresh start, determined to avoid romance this time around. But, because life always has a way of knocking Parker on her ass, she finds the most alluring, adorably nervous woman standing behind the register of a local bookshop.Add in that Maggie’s over a decade younger than Parker and has a really hard time finishing a sentence around her, and everyone ends up flustered.WarningThis book contains snark, lesbian age gap butterflies, husbands you’ll fall in love with, and just so much gay panic. Please read at your own risk. less

But in this moment, it scared the shit out of her.In the sleepy coastal town of Doveport, the pot isn’t just stirred—that bitch is boiling over.Maggie and Parker are new... like, brand-spanking-new. But for all of their flirting and butterflies and romantic intention, the universe has devised one giant beaver-dam.Maggie is already falling for the woman of her dreams, but that same woman might very well be leaving by the year’s end. With a mourning best friend, a transitioning career, and parents who are squarely on the wrong continent, Maggie can barely catch her breath, let alone figure out how to convince Parker to stay.Add in a pickle-thieving cat and a first date consisting mostly of fish bones, and you’ll start to get the picture.Parker’s found the kind of excitement and acceptance she never knew was possible, but it’s with a woman thirteen years her junior. Plus, she came to Doveport to start over, not to stay. Working on a short-term contract meant that she would have the freedom to go anywhere after this stopover.She’d never expected to be in another relationship, especially this soon, but when you find someone that feels like home, how can you leave? less
