A bookstore owner discovers that life as a recluse isn’t for everyone in this sharp yet sweet novel about how sometimes you need to abandon the quest for love to find your true passion.

Emma Rini is in a rut so deep she could shelve books there. While her sister awaits her first baby, and her parents kick off retirement with vow renewals and travel, Emma stays put among the stacks of the family bookshop.

In fact, she can’t remember the last time she took a vacation. Or had a romance that hovered above disappointing. When her parents assume she’ll take over the shop for them without a break, she realizes she needs to get away—back to the nineteenth century. Channeling her favorite poet recluse, Emily Dickinson, Emma rents a crumbling manor house outside Amherst where she can learn how to be quietly, blissfully alone.

But becoming a world-weary spinster isn’t easy. She can’t start a fire or reason with the bunnies that are destroying the garden. She finds herself sparring constantly with the grumpy-hot architect who is renovating the manor. And then there’s the secret admirer who keeps sending her complicated floral messages…

No matter what she does, the outside world keeps knocking, and Emma starts to dream about the future. Will she forgo love for the family legacy? And will she shrink away or become the sort of bold person fortune favors?

Just finished : 

Life had been awful at the start, a child unloved and abandoned. It was safer on the streets than in his home. Then, a miracle happened, and an angel discovered him. She allowed him to reach for the stars until a cruel, cowardly attack changed his life once more. He strove not to be bitter and to keep looking forward, thankful for what he did have.
Being forced into a loveless, arranged marriage was not her idea. Neither was becoming a runaway bride, but that’s what she became. And right on top of Christmas. Fleeing from the nightmare her life would become, she ran straight into the arms of a biker who was more than what he appeared.
He wasn’t looking for love, and she wanted to stand on her own two feet. Then, opportunities arise to throw them both off their accepted path. The two of them weave their way through life’s little hiccups and find a love that may be one for the times.
That’s until the bridegroom she ran from throws a wrench in matters, and a family secret comes to light. Her secrets are no longer her own, and the question remains-will he stand by her? Will she support him? Will the man who’s dealt with so much in his young life get his happy ever after? Or will, once again, his dreams get snatched away, just like they always seem to do?
