After her career as a literary agent imploded, Petra is stuck babysitting a little bookshop by the sea. Ross McCloud's debut novel blew the minds of the world's literati five years ago, but now Ross and his keenly awaited second work have vanished. When Petra discovers him lurking in the second-hand books section, a kinship forms. In the meantime, the magic of the bookshop slowly begins to enchant Petra. Her book recommendations assume legendary status; she's chairing a new book club; leading a writing group and hosting talks and signings by authors. She also finds time to help her new best friend launch the inaugural Portneath Literary Festival. What better opportunity to put the Festival on the map--says Ross--than for Petra to unveil his second novel to the world there, before re-launching her career representing him at the Frankfurt book fair? What a comeback! But can Petra find the courage to help the man she loves? Their love of books may be re-ignited, but is that enough to save them both from themselves?
