Publisher Description
When she hears that the small town of Heritage, Michigan, is looking for a new librarian, Libby Kingsley jumps at the opportunity. Little did she know the library is barely more than a storage closet stuffed with dusty, outdated books. What the community really needs is a new building. But the only funds available are those being channeled into the new town square, and the landscape architect in charge of the project wants nothing to do with her plans.
All Austin Williams wants to do is get the town square project finished so he can do right by the family business and then extricate himself from the town that reveres the brother who cost him so much. But the local media and the town's new librarian seem to be conspiring against him at every turn. Will the determined bookworm find her way into his blueprints--and possibly even his heart?
Novelist Tari Faris invites you back to the small town with a big heart in this second book in the Restoring Heritage series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the cheery second installment of Faris's contemporary Restoring Heritage series (following You Belong with Me), two new arrivals compete for public resources in Heritage, Mich. Austin Williams returns to Heritage to salvage his father's landscaping business after his brother and prodigal son, Nate, brought it to the brink of bankruptcy. Nate, now the town pastor, helps Austin get the contract to renovate Heritage Square. Meanwhile, Libby Kingsley, who had a traumatic incident with a boyfriend three years earlier, hopes moving to Heritage to be closer to her brother, Luke, and working as the town librarian will finally allow her to heal. Unfortunately, the only public money available that could go to the library has been earmarked for the new town square. After Libby meets would-be journalist Olivia Mathews, the two become roommates and sometime co-conspirators as they commiserate and try to change Austin's plans for renovating the square. But as Libby gets to know Austin, their mutual attraction and shared faith forces her to consider compromises. Filled with many twists and secrets but also a few frustratingly convoluted scenarios this sweet and circuitous inspirational romance will please rom-com fans.
