Love Walked In

A Novel

By: Sarah Chamberlain

Narrated by: Kate Handford, Stewart Crank

A sunshine US bookstore whisperer clashes with the grumpy British owner of the store she’s trying to save in this winning opposites-attract romance for book lovers.

He has a struggling bookshop. She has a knack for bringing bookstores back to life. As soon as she walks into his store, all bets are off…

Mari Cole lives her dream job: rescuing and revitalizing indie bookstores. Friendship? Love? No thanks. After a hard childhood, she doesn’t get too close to anyone. Books have never let Mari down the way people have. Then comes the offer of a lifetime: rescuing Ross & Co. Once the most prestigious indie booksellers in London, the store is a shadow of itself and needs to turn things around. The offer is double-edged sword: the store's new owner is as cold and hostile as the British winter.

Leo Ross has known his future is becoming the next to run Ross & Co. He’s sacrificed almost everything he cares about, but the bookshop is still failing on his watch. Now there's an obnoxiously cheerful American convinced that she's going to make everything better. Leo’s life is difficult enough as it is, and he doesn’t want her help.

When Mari and Leo are forced to work together to bring the store back to life, Leo's icy surface thaws to reveal the passionate man underneath. As winter gives way to the possibility of new beginnings, Mari begins to see that true love could be even better in real life than in the pages of a book. Can they put their pasts aside and learn to let love in?
