"In the first novel of Beth Wiseman's new Amish Bookstore series, a rare, old book may hold answers to a present-day romance"--

"Bookshop owner Jacob Moore can't believe his longtime celebrity crush, author Rasul Youssef, is moving to Copper Point. For many, the chance to meet the playboy novelist would be a dream come true, but Jacob dreads it. You should never meet your heroes. You definitely shouldn't pretend to be their boyfriend. Rasul came to this backwater town for an academic residency--a necessary evil, since he's burned through his advance without finishing the book that goes with it. But he's also getting distance from a toxic relationship. Quiet, reserved Jacob isn't his type, but their charade gives Rasul a respite from the social media circus surrounding his breakup, and Jacob's charming apartment proves the perfect setting to write. Of course, prolonged exposure reveals that Jacob's reserved exterior hides a thoughtful, intelligent man who sets Rasul's imagination--and heart--alight. Every day Rasul reveals himself to be more than Jacob ever dreamed he could. Jacob tries to be content with friendship and the professional overlap between author and bookseller, knowing a shooting star like Rasul could never make a home with Jacob in a small town like Copper Point. Could he?"--
