She sells romance, but is she buying it?
Bestselling romance novelist Emery Parker (aka Emerald Pearl) has a secret: she's hopelessly awkward around actual women. So when she accidentally demolishes a display in Eveline Auclair's bookshop, it's embarrassment at first sight. And then Eveline… offers her a job?
French bookshop owner Eveline despises romance novels and the “happily-ever-afters” they peddle. Little does she know, her new clumsy assistant is the acknowledged queen of the genre.
As Emery's writer's block dissolves and Eveline's icy exterior thaws, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. But with every lingering glance and electric touch, Emery's deception grows more impossible to confess.
When the truth inevitably spills, will their story end before it truly begins? Or can Emery convince Eveline that sometimes real love is better than fiction, even for the most reluctant romantic?
The Reluctant Romantic is an opposites-attract Sapphic romance featuring a very happy ending, from bestselling Sapphic writer Sienna Waters, author of The Wrong Date, The Almost Bride, and Teaching Hope.
