First Edition Romance

Ainslon O’Neil is co-owner of Turn the Page, the most popular children’s and comic bookstore in Garriety. Her life revolves around her business and family. Romance is far from her mind, until one day Lauren Millán walks into her store and commissions Ainslon to find a first edition of Mary Poppins. Ainslon can’t stop thinking about Lauren and, as fate would have it, the two seem to frequently run into each other. The one rule Ainslon made for herself was never to mix business with pleasure. The two agree to be friends. But, Ainslon finds she yearns for more with Lauren. Should Ainslon stick to the rules? Or follow her heart? Lauren Millán, owner of the successful candy store, C and C, is content with running her business and spending time with family and friends. While Lauren’s not averse to finding Ms. Right, she’s not searching for her either. When she walks into Turn the Page, a pair of green eyes and an Irish accent ambushes her heart. Yet, as much as she would like to pursue more than a friendship with Ainslon, their ten-year age difference gives her pause. Then there’s Ainslon’s promise never to mix business with pleasure. Welcome back to Garriety, where the food is plentiful, the people are always willing to lend an ear, and meeting the love of your life is just around the corner. Join Ainslon and Lauren, along with the characters from Add Romance and Mix and Blueprint for Romance, while they navigate the ups and downs of falling in love.
