The Bookshop Window. Romance In Willow Creek, #34

Emma Hayes thought she'd left Willow Creek-and her past-behind. But when her grandmother passes away, she returns to the small town that once held her heart to manage the family's beloved bookshop. The dusty shelves and attic full of memories are bittersweet reminders of everything she ran from, including Luke Hayes, her best friend who never stopped believing she'd come back. Luke has spent years quietly keeping the shop alive, fixing shelves, changing lightbulbs, and pretending he doesn't miss the girl who used to fill every corner of his world.
When Emma walks through the door again, the past they buried rises between them-along with something that never truly faded. As they work side by side to restore the bookshop's front window for the annual Fall Festival, old laughter returns. and so does the spark they once ignored. But fear and pride have a way of undoing even the sweetest of beginnings. From whispered confessions over coffee to a stolen kiss during a storm, Emma and Luke's story unfolds like the novels on her shelves-full of longing, second chances, and the courage to come home to love.
Set in the cozy, romantic heart of Willow Creek, The Bookshop Window is a tender "friends to lovers" romance about rediscovering where you belong, the magic of small towns, and how sometimes, the greatest love stories are written in the places we least expect.
