Publisher's Synopsis
A librarian with a secret. A bestselling romance author with no clue. A meet-disaster waiting to happen.
Daisy Lang's love life is more fiction than fact-unless you count her anonymous romance novels. Between small-town gossip and a string of truly awful first dates, she's sworn off real-life romance and stuck to the pages of her own imagination.
But when Weaversbrook welcomes a new bookstore café-and the swoon-worthy author headlining its opening-Daisy's carefully curated anonymity is at risk. Especially when Ethan Torres, the charming romance writer with a loyal fanbase, praises one of her books... without knowing she wrote it.
As sparks fly and identities unravel, Daisy must decide whether to come clean and risk everything, or keep hiding behind her pen name. After all, real life is messier than fiction-and happily-ever-afters aren't always guaranteed.
Books and Bad Dates is a sweet, funny, small-town romantic comedy perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary, and anyone who's ever wished their worst date turned into the start of something real.
