After the cataclysmic events in New York with his fellow Avengers, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans), lives in the nation's capital as he tries to adjust to modern times. An attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague throws Rogers into a web of intrigue that places the whole world at risk.

Romance Book Club: First-Time Caller

July's Romance book club has been decided and it is... First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison! This Sleepless in Seattle reimagining has been the subject of many bookseller's romance recs this summer. So, we are bringing it to our romance book club! Discover a new book and new friends at our monthly romance meet-up! Please read the novel prior to book club, there will be spoilers! Each ticket gives you a $5 voucher to use on the night of the event. Seating can begin as early as 6pm with the event beginning at 7pm. Food &amp; Beverage will be available for purchase in the room. About the book... A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle-inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison. Aiden Valentine has a secret: he's fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore's romance hotline, that's a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight. Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life-or lack thereof—she begins to question if she's as happy as she thought. Maybe a little more romance wouldn't be such a bad thing. Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending... even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final call between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her. <a href="https://tridentbookscafe.com/book/9780593641194">Order the book here!</a>

Emma Grey in conversation with Betty Cayouette

Food &amp; Beverage will be available for purchase in the cafe. About the Author: Emma Grey is the author of four YA novels and the global breakout bestseller, The Last Love Note. Emma lives in Canberra, Australia, where her world centers on her three children, loved step-children and step-grandchildren, writing, photography, and endlessly chasing the Aurora Australis. About the Book: If you knew then what you know now, would you make the same choices? Imagine having a second chance with the one you never forgot. From the author of the global breakout bestseller The Last Love Note comes the story of a young woman struggling to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragic accident, and the man who gives up everything to help her. When Evie Hudson wakes in an unfamiliar hospital room, she thinks she’s fresh out of a teenage party with her best friend, Bree. Except, Bree isn’t around anymore and high school was years ago. Evie had just survived the crash that killed her husband, Oliver—whom she can't remember either. After suffering a traumatic loss of memory, she’s left to connect the dots. But how? Enter: Drew, a promising photographer whose chance encounter with Evie unravels the elusive details of her marriage and her husband’s death. As Drew watches Evie stitch the story of her life together, secrets emerge that might shatter both of their worlds. This tangled second-chance romance leads Evie to question every decision she ever made. This time around, she’s seeing all the things she missed–and the life she gets to choose . . . again. About Betty: Betty Cayouette is an author and viral video content creator. She graduated summa cum laude from Brandeis University and currently lives in Salem, Massachusetts. Betty created @bettysbooklist, the viral TikTok/Instagram/YouTube account that is featured in outlets such as The Boston Globe, Euronews, Fox News, Boston com, and The Times (London).
