The Librarian's Secret 📖📚

Penny Hart loves the quiet.
At eighteen, she spends her days balancing college classes and working at a beloved family-owned library in the heart of Salem, Massachusetts. She prefers the company of dusty old books and late-night reading to the chaos of the outside world. But when a mysterious, sharply dressed businessman starts showing up twice a month, her calm little world begins to shift.

Edwin Vale doesn't belong in Salem.
At twenty-four, he's wealthy, controlled, and used to getting what he wants - in business and in life. But his late mother's connection to the library keeps bringing him back... and the shy young librarian with the curious blue eyes keeps making it harder to leave.

Drawn together by shared loss and an undeniable pull, Penny and Edwin discover that some stories can't be read - they have to be lived.
In a world of whispered promises, firm boundaries, and stolen moments in the quiet stacks, Penny will have to decide just how far she's willing to go to become the heroine of her own story.
