Who we are

Miss Willa's Bookshop, located in Charles Town, West Virginia, is an independent bookstore that offers romance-only novels written by authors both well-known and debut, traditional and indie.

Owned by # 1 New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, the bookshop is named after Willa Colyns, a character from JLA's Blood and Ash series. When JLA decided she wanted to fulfill one of her dreams by opening a bookstore, she immediately knew she wanted to showcase the genre that not only started her love of reading but also writing. 

Romance is the highest-earning genre, consistently leading the market in sales and profitability. But more importantly, romance doesn't just offer an escape. It also provides hope. If that comes as a shock to you, it's far past the time to pick up a romance book. After all, everyone deserves a little happily ever after in their lives.
