In for the Long Haul

Are you IN FOR THE LONG HAUL?
RULES are meant to be broken...
Your favorite bookseller returns in a heartfelt and sentimental sequel of Rules for Dating a Bookshop Owner. You won't want to miss this heartwarming story of what it truly means to be able to enjoy the little things in life. Especially during the holidays.
It's Christmastime, and a year after a terrible fire ripped through a staple in the sleepy town of Salter's Ridge, Maine, Campbell Harrison decides to take on a full renovation of the building that houses her beloved bookshop. Turning Pages is doubling in size and will be better than ever. But at what cost? While the entire town stands beside her rooting her on, Campbell begins to feel the overwhelming pressure she's possibly bitten off more than she can chew.
Still, she has one thing going right for her: A solid and steady relationship with the small town's newly-appointed fire captain, Bishop Graham. Together, they seem to have it all. But with the stress of a big job promotion and the accelerated growth of the bookshop at an exponential rate, all while balancing a large project together, both are starting to feel a mountain resting on their shoulders.
When a planned road trip out of town to take a break from it all doesn't go off without a hitch, they unexpectedly head back to Salter's Ridge. But, maybe a staycation in a cozy white cottage with full bookshelves and an outdoor fireplace by the icy harbor doesn't sound so bad after all.
With secondary plans to hunker down in the first big snowstorm of the season, a Christmas alone for the first time, just the two of them with no outside distractions, may be just what they need to find that connection they had when they first met.
Lots of big questions are explored in this novel of love for many things, including our life's work: What is important to you? Where do you seek happiness? Are you being intentional with the life you are living or are you just coasting along?
S. C. Gray is back again with a page-turner that is sure to have you highlighting and discussing with your book clubs all over again.
