Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.

She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.
