'The perfect balance of sweet, emotional and just enough spice!' ?????'So cozy it basically reset my nervous system' ?????'Perfect Stars Hollow vibes' ?????'If I could move there and open a bookshop myself I would in a heartbeat!' ?????'I loved the small-town vibes, the renovation project, the grumpy/sunshine dynamic' ?????Welcome to Solace Springs...

When Londoner Sophie Bennett launches a late-night crowdfunding campaign called Help a Boring Girl Buy a Bookshop, she never expects anyone to notice. But when her dream goes viral, she's given the chance to leave her old life behind and start again in the lakeside town of Solace Springs, Washington.

With a rundown boathouse, a head full of plans, and a determination to prove she's capable of taking risks, Sophie sets out to transform the neglected waterfront building into the bookshop she's always dreamed of owning.

Luke Rhodes likes his life exactly as it is: quiet, predictable, and free from drama. The last thing he needs is an enthusiastic internet sensation renovating the derelict boathouse next door and turning the town upside down. But when he gets roped into helping with the project, he soon discovers that Sophie is much harder to resist than he'd like. As the bookshop begins to take shape and Sophie's online fame brings unexpected complications, both Sophie and Luke must decide whether they're brave enough to stop hiding from the lives they really want and take a chance on love.

The Cherry Blossom Boathouse is a cozy small-town renovation romance featuring a grumpy boatbuilder, a bookshop dream, found family, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
