Book Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom and A December Bride (now beloved Hallmark Original movies) comes a sweet and sizzling story of a romance writer surprised by her own happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, A Novel Proposal features a fun grumpy-sunshine romance with all the bookish seaside vibes.

Desperate to salvage her career, Sadie accepts an invitation to hole up at her friend's beach duplex for the summer and devote herself to this confounding genre. After all, where better to witness love than on the beautiful South Carolina shore?

But Sadie soon finds many ways to procrastinate the dreaded task--like getting to know the beach regulars and installing a Little Free Library on the property. She even attempts conversation with Sam Ford, the frustratingly stubborn neighbor on the other side of the duplex. But things take an unexpected turn when Sadie finds inside her library an abandoned novel with a secret compartment--and a beautiful engagement ring tucked inside.

Suddenly, locating the ring's owner becomes the perfect way to put off writing that romance. Sadie draws a reluctant Sam into her mission. And as the two close in on an answer to the mysterious proposal, she discovers a tender side to him. She begins to wonder if he just might make the perfect hero for her romance novel--or maybe even her heart.

Escape to the sun-soaked shores of North Carolina with this heartfelt, clean romance about opposites attracting, unexpected love, and the magic of finding where you truly belong. Perfect for fans of beachy settings, bookish heroines, and swoon-worthy heroes, this story will warm your heart and keep you turning pages late into the night.
