A librarian who has written herself out of romance meets a man who sees another ending.

After losing her hair to alopecia, librarian Evangeline Kelly decides she isn’t heroine material. Instead of looking for a love story of her own, she turns to matchmaking the patrons of her library.

Tattoo artist Tai Davis uncovers her scheme and offers a deal: Evangeline must go on dates with him if she wants him to keep her secret. As the unlikely arrangement brings them together, the librarian who has given up on romance begins to question the story she has told herself.

In this contemporary romantic comedy, Evangeline and Tai learn that a book, and a person, can hold far more than its cover reveals. The first Checking Out Love novel pairs a bookish matchmaker with an unexpected romantic possibility.

A stranded bookmobile and a note of apology bring two unlikely hearts together.

Little Creek’s bookmobile is more of a death trap on wheels than a vehicle of literary delights, and circulation librarian Hayley Holt is afraid it will careen down a mountainside. Yet she sees it as a way to serve her community and be worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child.

Her fears come true when the bookmobile breaks down and a rockslide traps her in the small hollow of Turkey Grove.

Reclusive mechanic Levi Redding lives there to get away from people. He can handle getting the bookmobile running again, but the endless chatter and unsettling touches from the vibrant librarian leave him overstimulated.

When forced proximity leads to a misunderstanding, a note of apology begins an epistolary friendship, proving that sometimes the happiest endings aren’t contained within the bindings of a book.
