    Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories? 
     
    If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
     
    Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. 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.  
     
    "With a uniquely heartfelt message, lovable characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, Sarah Monzon's novel is a delight!"--MELISSA FERGUSON, bestselling author of How to Plot a Payback 
     
    This is a sweet he-falls-first, opposites attract, matchmaker romantic comedy with disability representation. Perfect for fans of books about books and kisses-only romances.

    Description:
    Three years ago, Joyce made the most painful decision of her life and walked away from Ethan, the love of her life, without a word. Now, fate cruelly throws them back together when Ethan, now a powerful and cold executive, arrives as the VIP client at the hotel where Joyce works. Forced into a professional encounter, the space between them is just one step in the elevator, but the emotional chasm feels unbridgeable. Haunted by a past filled with family opposition, sacrifice, and a devastating secret, Joyce must navigate the treacherous waters of corporate politics and her own shattered heart. As old wounds reopen and unspoken truths simmer beneath the surface, they are forced to confront the burning question: Can love overcome the distance of betrayal and time, or are some steps truly too far to take back? A poignant and gripping tale of love, loss, and the fragile hope of a second chance.
