It isn’t his refusal that irks Nora as much as his rudeness. Charlie hates the story of the tony town of Sunshine Falls, North Carolina and passes on the project. Nora meets with Charlie Lastra, a notable editor at Wharton Books to discuss her client’s latest manuscript, something a little more commercially viable than some of her other works. What Nora would rather do is be a book editor but that would mean starting at the bottom and there’s no way she could afford her NYC apartment and taking care of Libby and her kids. She does this so she can get her clients their best deal from the publishers, but mostly because she is good at it and makes money to take care of her sister and her sister’s family any way she can. Nora is a literary agent known in the business as the Shark. Nora Stephens centers her life around caring for her younger sister.



If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again-in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow-what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.īook Lovers is a story for everyone who loves a big city romance…or small town romance…or a good sister bonding story…or enemies-to-lovers story…or for anyone who simply loves a good book. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away-with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. Nora Stephens’ life is books-she’s read them all-and she is not that type of heroine.
