Estelle's Ardent Admirer: The Bookshop Belles Book 1

When her father travels to France to search for rare books, Estelle Baxter takes over managing Baxter's Fine Books and caring for her younger sisters in Hatfield. Practical and determined, Estelle prioritizes keeping the bookshop running and protecting her family's reputation, with little thought to marriage. Her carefully ordered life shifts when Felix Yates, the charming grandson of a local baron, enters her shop after returning from his Grand Tour. Felix, initially uninterested in settling down, becomes intrigued by Estelle's wit, resilience, and straightforward manner. As rumors about Estelle's father's safety emerge and a meddling cousin threatens the shop, their lives become increasingly connected. Estelle must decide whether to protect her independence or trust Felix, while Felix works to prove he is more than a wealthy aristocrat. Complications arise from family obligations, financial struggles, and a mischievous cat named Crafty. Set in Regency England, this is the first book in The Bookshop Belles series, a collection of sweet historical romances without on-page sexual content.
