Some love stories begin with a kiss. Ours begins with a book.

Percy has built a quiet life in the charming town of Washington, Georgia. Between managing Nooks with Books, caring for her three beloved rescue cats, and spending time with her best friend, she has everything she needs-or so she tells herself.

Then Duke Kennedy walks into her bookstore.

After leaving the chaos of New York City behind, Duke is looking for a fresh start. Washington offers the slower pace he craves, but he never expects to find himself captivated by the shy, vintage-loving bookstore manager with pink hair and a heart bigger than the town itself.

As stolen glances turn into tentative conversations and friendship begins to blossom into something more, Duke and Percy discover that sometimes the greatest love stories aren't found on bookstore shelves, they're written one moment at a time.

Filled with cozy bookstore charm, rescue cats, small-town friendships, and all the heartwarming magic of falling in love, Once Upon Our Story is a feel-good romance about finding home, taking risks, and discovering that happily-ever-afters are often closer than they appear.
