Sophie Lawson should be enjoying her sister's wedding day. But nothing could have prepared her to see the best man again. "Denise nails second-chance romance in Bookshop by the Sea." (USA TODAY bestselling author, Jenny Hale). Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber.

After her mother became bedridden and her father bailed on the family, Sophie found herself serving as a second mother to her twin brother, Seth, and younger sister, Jenna. Sophie supported her siblings through their college years, putting aside her own dream of opening a bookshop in Piper's Cove--the quaint North Carolina beach town they frequented as children.

Now it's finally time for Sophie to follow her own pursuits. Seth has a new job, and Jenna is set to marry her college beau in Piper's Cove. But the destination wedding reunites Sophie with best man Aiden Maddox, her high school sweetheart who left her without a backward glance.

When an advancing hurricane strands Aiden in Piper's Cove after the wedding, he finds the hotels booked to capacity and has to ask Sophie to put him up until the storm passes. As the two ride out the weather, old feelings rise to the surface. The delay also leaves Sophie with mere days to get her bookshop up and running. Can she trust Aiden to stick around? And will he find the courage to risk his heart?

Perfect for fans of clean, heartfelt romance, this tender second-chance love story brings together faith, forgiveness, and the slow rebuilding of trust. With a heroine you'll root for and a seaside setting you'll want to move to, Denise Hunter's beloved storytelling reminds us that sometimes the best chapters come after the storm. Bookshop by the Sea is the kind of cozy and swoony romance you'll want to savor to the last page.
