Description

The thrill-seeking photographer. The fiery librarian. The hometown hardship that finally brings them together.

Dylan Lavoie won't take retirement sitting down. After four decades as head librarian, the septuagenarian has one month to raise enough funds to save her library and her job. Not even the unexpected return of the adventurous childhood confidant who once abandoned her can stop her from saving her sanctuary.

Fifty years ago, Frankie Chan fled heartbreak in Juniper Creek to chase excitement as a wildlife photographer. When the recent retiree reluctantly returns home for her mom's funeral, she finds her beloved library under siege and the snarky bibliophile she still pines after fighting its closure. How can Frankie ignore the excuse to reconnect with the only woman she's ever loved—even if she can't stay?

As the two fundraise at the Pumpkin Days events, Frankie dares to hope the years have changed Dylan's mind about them—but what if she's wrong? Can Dylan and Frankie forgive their painful past to save the library and find their second chance at love before it's too late?

Of Love and Libraries is the heartfelt second book in the Juniper Creek Golden Years queer contemporary romance series. If you like autumn festivals, library tales, and second chance romances, you'll fall head over heels for Brenna Bailey's warm golden years love story.
