Love, Lies and Literature

She closed the book on romance after their first date fizzled. He'd love to rewrite their story if she'll give him another chance.

Librarian Cora Martin spends her days immersed in books at Broman County Library, but she has yet to find her own love story. When her boss assigns Cora to oversee the author visit of her literary crush, she wishes her dream task didn't involve working with Evan, the handsome yet reclusive guy tending Dog-Eared Books across town.

Reluctantly overseeing his sister's bookstore while she travels, software engineer Evan Hollis bides his time in Hendricks. His one and only date with librarian Cora wasn't exactly a highlight of his stay in town. After all, he declared himself a non-reader in the first fifteen minutes—and who admits that to a librarian?

When Evan's opportunity for a do-over arrives in Hendricks in the form of literary sensation Renn Stone, he's ready. Renn's first stop: Dog-Eared Books for a signing, which Cora promised to help Evan coordinate. Will this be Evan's chance to start a new chapter with Cora, or has she taken him out of circulation for good?
