Most of all, she's stuck in her grief over her mother's death. Her only solace was her late mother's library of rare \u003ci\u003eStarfield\u003c\/i\u003e novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember--with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he's forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there's a library in the house. Too bad he doesn't read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Rosie and Vance's paths collide and a rare book is accidentally destroyed, Rosie finds herself working to repay the debt. And while most Starfield superfans would jump at the chance to work in close proximity to \u003ci\u003ethe \u003c\/i\u003eVance Reigns, Rosie has discovered something about Vance: he's a jerk, and she can't stand him. The feeling is mutual. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as Vance and Rosie begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off--and they may just find that there's more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quirk Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683691938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.10d","brand":"Ashley Poston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36665879593116,"sku":"9781683691938","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9dba1a47-6d22-48ff-9460-7d8894f3676d.jpg?v=1603910636","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bookish-and-the-beast-9781683691938","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
