Calvin inherited his grandfather's beloved but going under bookstore in Big Sur. Despite his attachment to the store and the community of poetic, hippie community of Big Sur, Calvin's brain knows selling it is the right thing to do.

Before he finalizes a sale, Calvin does keep the store open to accommodate a high-end fashion shoot set to take place over a week, a booking that will help bolster the store's failing finances.

What Calvin isn't expecting is his immediate and intense attraction to the uber-famous fashion model Lucia Bell. Of course she is beautiful, but there's just something about Lucia, something that is making it pretty clear nerdy Calvin may be a gentlemen in the streets but is definitely a controlling alpha-in-the-sheets. It doesn't hurt Lucia is also into poetry and all of the nerdy things Calvin enjoyed growing up in the bookstore.

Lucia is also stunned by this connection but isn't sure where it will go. Both are set in their lives and neither seem to want to change.

A fun read, very sexy and poetic. I didn't really enjoy Calvin's character as I read this too soon after hearing about a IRL famous nerd being outed for shameful behavior. I was more intrigued by the secondary characters and was pleased to find out they have their own book!
