An emotionally gripping page—turner about heartbreak, old secrets, and second chances—with an unexpected Cyrano twist. For fans of Lucy Score and Mia Sheridan.
When mathematician Aubrey MacLean’s career implodes, she has no choice but to return to her rural Indiana hometown, at least temporarily. But small towns have long memories, and so does she, especially when it comes to Nick Thacker, the boy who broke her heart.
Nick’s life is routine: long shifts at the steel mill, plus a side business writing love letters for other people. It’s enough to numb his regrets—until his first love returns, stirring up a past he thought he’d buried.
Aubrey is focused on rebuilding her career, until she falls for a man whose love letters feel achingly familiar. But as their connection deepens, so does her sense that she’s been here before. The similarities must be a coincidence, right? Because if not, Aubrey may have to choose between the life she’s built and the love she left behind…
Perfect for fans of:
- Small town romance
- Second chances
- Single dad
- Tortured hero
- Love letter mix—ups
Seventeen years ago, Nick and Aubrey made plans for a future together, only to be driven apart. Now, Aubrey is back in town.
Author Shaylin Gandhi serves up a second-chance romance packed with emotion. As teens, the math whiz and brooding writer found common ground with a sizzling attraction meant to last forever. Love Letters for Other People tells the story leveraging flashbacks.
A common theme is using letters to express emotions. Aubrey reconnects with a former classmate who uses letters to try to win her affection. This adds an interesting twist because the words significantly impact Aubrey’s affections, much like Nick’s teen letters.
Nick’s character remains unwavering as a man determined to uphold his word, even if it involves self-sacrifice. For Aubrey, this may be one problem she just can’t solve.
Love Letters for Other People delivers a heartfelt second-chance romance for two people seeking a shared future.
SHAYLIN GANDHI is a traveler, scuba diver, and pianist. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband, their identical twin daughters, and two rescue dogs.
