The Bookshop Back Home - Catherine Dellosa - Bog

When Anna ran away to the big city, she was happy. Sure, she brewed cheap coffee, scrubbed frat toilets, and stood in the middle of a basketball court with a plastic bird over her head just to get by, but she was happy. Then Michael shows up at her university on the last day of college and asks her to come home, and she's drawn to him all over again. Never mind that he's eight years older than she is. Never mind that he's smiling and perfect and the whole reason why she left home in the first place. Never mind that he accidentally almost got her killed in their town's old bookshop when she was twelve. All Anna knows is that Michael is the same man who revived her, the same man who broke her heart growing up, the same man she's hungered for all her life. Now, she's coming home to face her silent mother, her passive sister, and a devastating truth about her father. She's coming home to face her demons, and-after one forbidden night-ignite a fragile passion with the older boy who never loved her in return. But Michael has his own demons too. And when 22-year-old Anna comes home to return to the life she left behind, she learns that there are just some things you can't run away from, and that home will never be the same again.
