Phoebe Crane built her New York bookshop to be a sanctuary-a place safe enough to feel things in, and quiet enough to hear yourself think. She's used to the late-night wanderers, the ones seeking a warm room more than a paperback. But she isn't used to Elliot Voss. A high-powered private equity partner, Elliot hasn't stopped moving since his wife died four years ago. Deal to deal, city to city, motion is his only management for grief. When he stumbles into Phoebe's shop, he expects a forty-five-minute distraction. Instead, he finds a worn reading chair, an annotated copy of a familiar book, and a dark-eyed woman who doesn't flinch at his pain. As hours turn into delayed flights, and delayed flights turn into weeks, Elliot realizes Phoebe is offering him the one thing he's terrified of: a place to land. But to stay in the warmth of her world, Elliot must finally stop running from his own.
