The Romantic Story of Helena, a young woman who runs a bookstore in the heart of New York City and begins receiving mysterious letters about her recently deceased mother’s past. During Christmas, she meets a fascinating man and falls in love… only to discover he is the son of a famous romance novelist – and she HATES romance novels. Will she give in to her feelings or try to keep it professional? In fact, the author is set to launch her latest hit at Helena’s bookstore. An unforgettable story from the queen of BookTok!
Helena is 20 years old and lives in Madrid with her father. She hasn’t seen her mother since she was little, as her mother distanced herself from them and started a new life in Brooklyn. When her mother, Carmen, dies, Helena receives a plane ticket to New York to take over her mother’s bookstore. Although she doesn’t know who sent it, Helena, encouraged by her father, decides to seize the opportunity to find answers about Carmen’s past.
Soon after settling in, Helena begins to receive mysterious letters with passages from her mother’s diary and invoices for bookstore expenses, adding even more uncertainty to the situation. Her first few months in the bookstore are rough, but with Christmas approaching, hundreds of customers start coming in to find gifts.
One day, a very attractive young man enters, looking for a book by Amelia Andersen, the trending romance author. Helena admits she despises the author and the romance genre, which seems to deeply offend the young man. A few days later, Helena discovers that the man, named Doyle, is Amelia Andersen’s son, and they’ve chosen Helena’s bookstore to promote her latest book. Although Helena isn’t thrilled with the idea, she agrees because she needs new customers.
During the book promotion, Helena and Doyle get to know each other better, and Doyle becomes a crucial support for Helena, who still feels like an outsider in the city. Doyle starts to fall for her, and one day, as they stroll through Christmas markets in Manhattan, he kisses her romantically, and they end up going back to his place together. But when Helena arrives, she finds a photograph of Amelia with Carmen, revealing that Amelia and Carmen were once a couple – the reason her mother left her. Amelia was also behind the mysterious payments and letters, as she felt guilty for leaving Carmen and wanted to make amends with her daughter.
Now Helena must decide if she can let herself be swept away by her growing feelings for Doyle or if she should learn from her mother’s past and stay away from that family for good.
