Summary

A man looking toward the future and a woman without a past.
 
 
 
Matt Henney is a man with no place of his own, but buying into his best friends’ ranch feels as if he’s finally come home. He might now be broke, but he’s looking forward to planting roots for the first time in his life and ditching the open road. Signing the contract that makes him a third owner of the Waters Ranch near the remote canyons in Utah brings him a peace that has eluded him.
 
 
 
Hope Whitfield is desperate. She’s on a mission to find out who Hope is and who Hope can be. With no memory of who she once was, all she wants is to live on the land she inherited and keep her head above water. Living on the remote property in Utah seems like a dream come true. The land is hers, and she’ll do whatever she has to do to keep it.
 
 
 
For Hope, plans rarely go her way. She desperately needs her job at the Waters Ranch, but every day that passes, she fears it will be her last. Then along comes Matt, who has patience with her limitations and is the friendly face she needs to get through each day. But trouble is following Hope; trouble she can’t remember. There is a killer out there, and Hope is the only link. Hope and Matt will need to learn to trust each other in order to stop a killer. And to find a love that neither of them was searching for.
 
 
 
Chasing Hope is a standalone title, around 75,000 words. Hope and Matt will forever hold a place in my storytelling heart. Their story wouldn’t be kept inside, and I’m pleased to share it with you. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy.” – Lizzy Castle.

    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.
