Heartwarming, wholesome romance, set in the same cosy village as The Matcha Maker Cafe. Klara is a local bookshop owner – a perfectionist whose fear of romance might finally be upended . . .

The second book in the same universe as The Matcha Maker Cafe, this time following Klara, the local bookstore owners love unfold.

Description

He's one bad grade from failure; she's a razor-sharp perfectionist who hates mistakes . . .

As the literary heart of Bramleigh village, Klara lives her life by the book, longing for her happy ending but avoiding the unpredictability of romance in favour of pristine shelves and a perfectly managed inventory at the cosy local bookshop she runs.

When exhausted trainee teacher Leo Fernandes, moonlighting as a courier, misdelivers the valuable special editions Klara was planning to auction at the village's Winter Book Festival, his secret hopes of winning her heart are dashed.

But as the two plot a literary rescue mission over delicious treats at their favourite café, Matcha Moments, an unexpected chemistry grows between them.

Can Klara rewrite her own script, or will Leo prove that the best chapters are the ones you never planned on reading?
