Sometimes the best stories happen between the lines.

Tessa has built her perfect world between library walls and leather-bound spines, where classic literature provides all the romance and adventure she needs. As head librarian, she's content curating quiet reading corners and recommending Jane Austen to patrons who truly appreciate the art of storytelling. The last thing she wants is chaos disrupting her carefully ordered sanctuary—especially chaos in the form of Alec Morrison.

Alec lives his life in the spotlight, charming bestselling authors on his hit TV show and turning book launches into must-see events. When he's tasked with organizing the town's first-ever literary festival, he thinks it'll be another flashy production—until he meets Tessa, the impossibly stubborn librarian who seems immune to his considerable charm and has very strong opinions about "commercializing literature."

Forced to work together despite their clashing visions, Tessa and Alec turn festival planning into an art form of creative conflict. She wants intimate poetry readings; he wants celebrity appearances. She treasures handwritten notes; he lives for social media buzz. But when they discover a long-lost manuscript hidden in the library's archives—a collection of love letters that could make their festival legendary—they'll need to blend her scholarly expertise with his promotional genius.

Through late nights in dusty archives and heated debates over hospitality riders, these opposites will discover that the most beautiful stories aren't always found in books—sometimes they're written by two hearts learning to speak the same language.

A charming enemies-to-lovers romance that proves love stories are even better when they're unscripted.
