The Rainy Day Bookshop: A Contemporary Small-Town Story of Family, Community and Books

Some people come into your life at exactly the wrong moment — and Andrew Morgan is absolutely one of them.

Rosie Lucas has her hands gloriously, chaotically full. She's running The Rainy Day Bookshop, the beloved family business nestled in a charming small town, caring for her aging mother, and cautiously rebuilding her fractured relationship with her estranged daughter, Emma, who has returned home with an irresistible three-year-old named Olive in tow. It's messy, imperfect, and exactly what Rosie has always wanted. Romance? Not on her radar. She's already raised her family once, and she has no intention of repeating that chapter.

Then Andrew Morgan moves in — brooding, reclusive, and insufferably arrogant. He's a bestselling author with two young children and apparently zero interest in being neighborly. Rosie finds him grating. He finds her relentlessly cheerful optimism equally aggravating. The tension between them crackles like a live wire every time they're in the same room, which, in a small town, is far too often.

But small towns have a way of forcing people together. And bookshops — with their quiet corners and stories about second chances — have a way of softening even the most guarded hearts.

RaeAnne Thayne delivers a warm, layered contemporary romance about motherhood, forgiveness, and the unexpected places love takes root. With
