The Librarian and the Mechanic
(2024)(The second book in the Dash of Desire series)
A Novella by Brianna Bancroft
After ending an emotionally abusive marriage, Mallory Moran has worked hard to rebuild her life in a peaceful small town upstate. Her new job at the library has helped her heal, but it hasn’t alleviated her loneliness—although the handsome mechanic who frequently roams the bookstacks might.
Of course, she’d have to build up the courage to talk to him first.
Joel Foster is the epitome of stoic when he checks out his weekly book, but his impassive behavior keeps Mallory’s secret crush at bay. Until she finds herself on the side of a remote country road with a broken-down car. Suddenly thrust into each other’s orbits, the librarian and the mechanic realize they might be more on the same page than they once thought.
But when news spreads that Joel’s ex-wife is back in town, Mallory is forced to confront her emotional scars and decide if she’s ready for a new chapter—or if it’s time to close the book on her second chance at love.
Genre: Romance
