The Bookshop at the End of the Snow Route

Nora Ellison came home to Perth to sell a bookshop. She did not plan to save it.

The Bound Bookshop was her aunt Frances's life's work, and it is days from losing its building to a landlord's buyer. Nora has a train ticket back to Toronto, a promotion decision waiting, and a plan that does not include grief. Then an ice storm closes every road out of town, and the only person standing between Nora and a clean exit is Graham Sutherland, the shop's stubborn manager, who has spent three years keeping Frances's promises for her, including 412 Secret Santa book orders for local children and seniors that come due at Christmas.

Four days of sled deliveries, a flooded rare-book room, and one first edition Nora swore she would never sell stand between the shop and January. Steamy, open-door, and a guaranteed happy ending.
