The Broken Quill: A Sweet Grumpy vs Sunshine Small Town Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295784170)

She came to sell a failing bookstore and leave before the mountains made her feel anything. He has spent fifteen years fixing every broken thing in this town except his own stubborn heart. One leaking roof, a tin of century-old love letters, and far too many hours in close quarters changed everything.

Maya Vance had a plan: fly to Plum Ridge, Tennessee, assess the crumbling mountain bookstore her great-aunt left behind, and be back in Atlanta before the season changed. She did not plan for a roof that went to war with her first morning, a rare book collection one rainstorm away from ruin, or a town so stubbornly warm it refused to let her stay a stranger.

And she absolutely did not plan on Garrett Hayes.

• Grumpy/Sunshine Slow Burn: A stubborn contractor who communicates in actions, not words, and a sharp-tongued planner who planned her whole life except for him.
• Forced Proximity: A bookstore mid-renovation, a shared roof emergency, and nowhere to hide when the walls come down.
• Bookshop Romance: Antique books, a leaking tin ceiling, mismatched cafe chairs, and a town that gathers around stories.
• Sweet and Wholesome: A clean romance built on real emotional depth, slow-building tension, and a payoff worth every chapter of the wait.
• Enemies to Lovers: She thinks he is determined to make everything harder. He thinks she is here to change everything he has spent years protecting. They are both wrong about each other in the best possible way.
