Story of My Life (Deluxe Edition)

Summary: The first in an all-new laugh-out-loud romance series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lucy Score. A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt’s Creek redemption comedy.Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a breakup drives her straight into writer’s block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, she’s hiding from the world behind a wall of old takeout containers until her publisher lays down the law. If she misses her next deadline it’s The End.Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrival—involving an incident with a bald eagle—she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.But Hazel isn’t worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. There’s only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museum…er…house.Okay two things. A fake date for “research purposes” will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, she’s writing a romance novel and living one. At least until the drywall dust settles, the town she’s falling in love with faces bankruptcy, and growly Cam remembers why he can’t live happily ever after.Author’s Note: “This series is my love letter to every reader who said they wanted to move to a fictional town.” Deluxe Edition features: gorgeous designed edges, spot gloss on the cover, a map and chapter POV art.Bestselling author: Lucy Score is a #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with nearly 2 million copies of her Bloom editions sold since she joined us in 2022.Devoted fanbase: Lucy is writing in the sweet spot of romantic comedy with a higher heat level and beloved tropes.
