Clara Hughes sells happy endings for a living. Between the rows of paperbacks and the scent of cinnamon coffee, her little shop has become a haven for dreamers-but not for her. She's content writing blurbs about love, not living it. That is, until the one man who broke her heart walks back through her door with a book to sign and an apology she never asked for.
Ryan Cavanaugh has written a dozen bestselling romances, but none that fixed the story he ruined with Clara. When a canceled flight strands him in her bookstore during a storm, their past becomes impossible to ignore. Between candlelight, old arguments, and a thousand unsent apologies, they discover that some stories don't end-they just wait for rewrites.
As they rebuild what was lost, every quiet moment carries the pulse of something unfinished. There are no grand gestures, no quick fixes-just two people learning to trust the slow work of forgiveness. For Clara, it means believing she can be loved exactly as she is. For Ryan, it means proving that love can be rewritten without losing its truth.
Set in a charming New England town where rainstorms, book clubs, and second chances collide, Sweeter Than Fiction is a tender, lightly steamy story about imperfect people finding real love. It's for anyone who's ever wondered if the happy ending they sold everyone else might still be waiting for them, too.
