Can't Help Falling: A Best Friend's Brother RomCom

Owen Larrabee is the older brother of the narrator's best friend—and off-limits. Years ago, she confessed her love to him on his wedding day, a confession she has spent eight years trying to forget. He dismissed her as his sister's dorky friend, and she has convinced herself she is over him. Now Owen returns to Harvest Hollow and rescues the narrator from her burning house, reigniting feelings she thought were long gone. He has a temper, is moody, and has a history of being misunderstood. He has also sworn off relationships and views romance as a farce. The narrator owns a local bookshop and hosts a popular podcast called The Hopeful Romantic, where she gives relationship advice based on the hundreds or thousands of romance novels she has read rather than personal experience. As Owen's presence challenges her beliefs about love and romance, she must navigate her rekindled feelings for someone who once saw her as just a kid. Can't Help Falling is a best friend's brother and childhood crush romance with opposites attract elements, described as a sweet rom-com with sizzle but without explicit content.
