Bookworm (buk-werm): Someone who loves books, reading, and/or studying. For reference, see Charlotte Kent.



Seventeen-year-old Charlotte Kent likes happy endings. Not that she's looking for one herself. Awkward, never been kissed, and bookish to the core, Lottie would rather read about love than experience it. But she enjoys helping others find their HEA in books.



Lottie loves working at the library . . . even if it means running into Bo Stryker.



Broody, athletic, and unfairly attractive when he frowns, Bo works at the flower shop across the street. Lottie is about to get rejected . . . when surprisingly, Bo steps in, pretends to be her boyfriend, and steals her first kiss.



One viral video later, everyone thinks they're together.



Bo wants to keep pretending. Lottie wants to make amends—long story short: she was on a ladder; he startled her; the book slap was an accident.



A fake relationship may be the solution. But as they grow closer, Lottie can't help falling for Bo—which is a disaster because grumpy sunshine only works in fiction . . . right?
