Summary

Life has a funny way of throwing you into chaos just when you think you’ve got it all figured out. I was supposed to be the girl with a plan, the one who knew exactly where she was headed and kept her feet firmly on the ground. But then I met Carter. He’s everything I was told to avoid—charming yet haunted, dangerous yet captivating. He pulled me into his world with a single glance, and suddenly, my carefully laid plans were unraveling faster than I could catch them. They warned me about him, whispered that he was trouble, that his past was a storm waiting to consume anyone who got too close. And yet, here I am, standing on the edge, wondering if I should leap into the unknown. Because Carter makes me feel alive in ways I’ve never felt before, and for the first time in my life, I’m craving the thrill of the fall. But what happens when our secrets collide? When the ghosts of our pasts come knocking and everything we’ve built starts to crumble? Am I brave enough to face the storm with him, or will I let fear dictate my choices once again? One thing’s for sure—this is more than just a fleeting romance. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of confronting the darkness within, and finding the strength to break free from the chains of our pasts. And if I’m going to risk it all, I’d rather risk it with him than live a life of regrets. So, here’s to taking chances, to embracing the chaos, and to daring to dream of something extraordinary. Let’s see where this path leads, shall we?

    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
