Hearts on Fire Books, a romance-focused bookstore, will open this fall in Boise, Idaho, BoiseDev reported.
The store will reside at 218 N. 9th St. and carry a wide variety of romance titles. Owner Samantha Haroian, a former accountant, will also sell nonbook items like bookmarks and candles, and her event plans include book clubs and author talks.
"Our little tagline is 'a place for the curious romantic,' meaning, we want people who are curious about the genre to feel comfortable coming in and learning more about romance and what the genre is all about," Haroian told BoiseDev. She also hopes the store becomes a hub for the romance community.
Haroian said she's always dreamed of owning a bookstore, and she wanted to "get out of the accounting and corporate side of things and work for myself." She's aiming for an October opening.
