The Cinnamon Bun Book Store (Dream Harbor, #2)

by Laurie Gilmore

Hazel was literally surrounded by amazing stories, books filled with love and adventure and life, but Hazel herself was stuck.

Activity and noise and lights and bodies swirled around her, but Noah only saw her. It was as though everything else was blurred but Hazel was crystal clear.

He was summer and she was fall. He was adventure and she was comfort. But right now, on the cusp between the two seasons, in this liminal space they’d carved out for themselves, they fit just right.

The kiss was incendiary. He could have sworn his entire body had gone up in flames.

She brought him back to life, reconstructed him into a better version than the original. And he felt alive. He was alive. He was real.

‘You’re all I think about. All I want. Me and you until the end.’

He realized he loved her and that he probably had all along. But it had snuck up on him somehow even though she’d been perfect from the start.
