Knocking Boots X Once Upon Our Story

Knocking Boots -

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Willow Winters comes a steamy, small-town romance.

A drunken bet that led to a fake relationship? My naive little heart still hoped it would last...

We were never meant to be together.

He's a bartender with noncommittal tendencies.

I'm looking for ... the opposite. Commitment. Period.

But drinks and a bet led to something it shouldn't have: a fake relationship. Worse, a first date, a first kiss... and then more.

He's addictive, and I can't bring myself to accept the reality.

That it's all a lie and I'm fooling myself by thinking he could want more. That I could change him.

He's mine for as long as I keep on pretending like this is just for fun.

As if I don't want more...

Like when he whispers my name, I pretend it doesn't make my heart flip.

Like when he holds me at night, I pretend I don't want to lie in his bed every night.

It's just a bet; just a lie... until it isn't.

Once Upon Our Story -

Some love stories begin with a kiss. Ours begins with a book.

Percy has built a quiet life in the charming town of Washington, Georgia

Between managing Nooks with Books and caring for her beloved rescue cats, Percy has everything she needs-or so she tells herself.

Then Duke Kennedy walks into her bookstore.

After leaving the chaos of New York City behind, Duke is looking for a fresh start. What he doesn't expect is to find himself captivated by the shy, vintage-loving bookstore manager with pink hair and a heart bigger than the town itself.

As friendship begins to blossom into something more, Duke and Percy discover that sometimes the greatest love stories aren't found on bookstore shelves-they're written one moment at a time.
