Moving back home was supposed to be temporary. But the one man I can’t have makes me want to stay forever…

Bianca

After my parents’ untimely death, I came back to my hometown to settle their estate, expecting a quick exit. They left behind little more than memories and a crumbling library on the brink of closure. With my future in limbo, I’m stuck between what was and what’s next. Then, one unexpected night with Clint Prosper changes everything.

Rugged, quiet, and the library’s most loyal patron, Clint offers me a reason to stay.

His deal: run the library while I sort out my life.

I accept his offer, knowing there can be no more stolen nights with the man who makes leaving feel impossible.

Easy enough… right?

Clint

From the moment I saw Bianca, I knew she’d wreck me. And I let her—for just one night.

But one night was never going to be enough.

I make her an offer to keep her around: run the library to keep it from closing. What I didn’t expect was her one condition—keep things strictly professional between us.

So I do what any reasonable man would do—I stalk my little librarian, making sure no one moves into my territory.

She thinks this is temporary. That she’ll pack up and leave once the dust settles. But I know better. She’s already part of this town again. Already part of me.

And I’m not about to let her go without a fight.
