Can this shy bookstore owner who’s never been kissed turn the grumpy hockey-playing beast who owns the building into a book boyfriend, er, book lover?

Vohn

I’m good at two things: playing and coaching hockey. Not a businessman, when I inherit a prime piece of real estate downtown, the plan is to level it to make room for a parking lot. Anyone else hate fighting to the death for a spot?

Gracie

I have two dreams: open a bookstore and find a guy who is a swoony sweetheart like the heroes in my favorite novels. As for Once Upon a Romance, achievement unlocked. I’m officially ready to match readers with the books they love.

Vohn

I get caught breaking into my building by a woman wielding a dictionary. Can’t lie. She’s adorable in those pajamas. I like what I see. Too bad I have to kick her out.

Gracie

My new landlord is a grump and a brute. Who hates books? Him. That’s who. Pages fly when we clash, but things heat up when we get stranded during a storm.

Vohn

Plot twist. Turns out I need her help and she needs mine, so I propose a fake marriage of convenience.

Gracie

Didn’t see that coming, but like in love stories, maybe if he’s my first kiss, he’ll turn into a prince.

If you enjoy clean, closed door, small town, grumpy sunshine romcom, then it’s time to meet Gracie and Vohn in this instalove standalone novella.
