Love on the Shelf

By: Sheila Roberts

The battle lines are drawn--between a romance-loving bookseller and the shock jock determined to tear happily-ever-afters apart.

Alice Willoughby and her mom run HEA Books, a cozy shop devoted to love stories and the people who crave them. Alice is great at matching customers with their perfect happily-ever-after...she just can't seem to find her own.

Enter Parker Black, a disillusioned radio host who's reinvented himself as a romance-bashing shock jock. Bitter from his breakup with a romance author who turned love into a four-letter word, Parker takes aim at the entire genre--and his on-air rants start stirring up trouble for Alice's loyal customers and their partners. He's arrogant, aggravating, and absolutely not book-boyfriend material.

Parker's crusade leads to spirited debates and bookstore protests, but when unexpected sparks fly between the two of them Alice begins to wonder if her favorite trope--enemies to lovers--might actually be playing out in real life. Parker may claim romance is a lie...but is he protesting a little too much?

With sharp wit and plenty of charm, USA Today bestselling author Sheila Roberts delivers a modern battle of the sexes where the biggest question is simple:

Are romance novels ruining love--or rewriting it?
