A Rare Find (Paperback or Softback)

A woman struggling to leave her home learns how to find her own strength—and lean on the man who wants to help her—in this heartwarming romance set in a bookstore.

When bookstore owner and rare bookseller Melanie Montgomery thinks about stepping outside…well, she just doesn’t. Outside doesn’t exist anymore as far as she’s concerned. She’s got the good life—an apartment above the bookstore she owns and loves, regular grocery deliveries, friends who are more than happy to visit her bookstore home. Life is simple and she’s happy. Or so she keeps telling herself.

Then retired real-estate mogul Samuel Reid walks in with a rare book to rival all rare books. And when he offers to bring dinner to her, Melanie jumps at a chance to kindle the romance…inside the safety of her home. The thing is, she hasn’t told him that she can’t leave the store. That why she can’t leave is her fault. And if she does think about leaving, it sends her into a spiral. But as their romance blossoms, so does Melanie, and she starts to think that maybe stepping outside her door might not be so bad after all.

Samuel has problems of his own, though, and when he doesn’t communicate with Melanie that one of the books he brings in might have a sketchy past, it threatens the trust and love they’ve begun to develop. But Samuel wants to fight for her, and he’s convinced that Melanie has the strength to fight for herself, too.
