Her Secret Hero

She’s been falling for her mystery letter-writer for months. She has no idea he’s the scowling, infuriating man who runs the coffee cart directly outside her bookshop window.Wren Banks came to the small town of Valor to start over. With her cozy bookshop, an opinionated tabby cat named Heathcliff, and a ritual of closing-time tea, she has everything she needs. Everything except whoever has been tucking handwritten love letters in her mail slot for the past six weeks. The letters are clever, romantic, and written by someone who knows her favorite books, notices her smallest habits, and sees her more completely than anyone ever has.Wren is catastrophically, helplessly falling. For a man she has never met. Freddie Gallagher came to Valor for one reason: to heal. A wounded warrior who found his footing again at the Purple Heart Ranch rehabilitation program, he stayed in town for a reason he hasn’t admitted out loud to anyone. He set up his coffee cart directly outside the most charming bookshop on the main street. He makes her flat white without being asked. He doesn’t say more than two words to her each day. But he’s been writing her letters - beautiful, anonymous, achingly honest letters - because the words come easily on paper and not at all when she is standing twelve feet away looking at him with those hazel-green eyes.Freddie absolutely plans to stop. Any day now.When the Valor Autumn Market committee forces them into co-chair positions, proximity does what proximity always does; it makes secrets harder to keep and feelings impossible to ignore. Their banter is electric. Their chemistry is undeniable. And Wren’s very public mission to unmask her secret admirer is pulling her closer to the truth and directly into Freddie’s grumpy, broad-shouldered orbit.But Freddie is carrying a secret that could ruin everything. And Wren has been hurt by the people she trusted most.
