A struggling bookseller. A department store heir with everything to prove. A runaway beer wagon that changes everything. After being jilted by his fiancée and denied a promotion, William Walraven must open Denwall Department Store’s first New York emporium before Christmas—or lose his chance at leading the family empire. He can’t afford distractions … until he saves Ivy King from being run over by a beer wagon and finds himself drawn to the determined bookseller whose shop his new store may destroy. Ivy is fighting to keep her family bookshop alive. Falling for a charming department store heir is the last thing she needs—especially when a mysterious attack on Will’s brother pulls her into a dangerous investigation and into Will’s world.
