Hazel Anderson braves a blizzard to check on the library's resident tortoise, but being snowed in with Evergreen Cove's newest bad boy was not on her BINGO card...
Lynx Dane is no one's hero. He's in town for a fresh start—and a fresh cup of coffee, which is when he bumps into the town librarian. Hazel's sharp tongue, red hair, and freckles sweep every thought from his head. Before Lynx knows what hit him, he offers to see her safely to her destination.
Hazel knows Lynx's brother, so trusting him to escort her for a few snowy blocks shouldn't be a big deal. But as the storm worsens, the power goes out, leaving them stranded in the dark library together until morning.
Between flashlight confessions and shared drinks, the night heats up faster than a malfunctioning generator—leaving them to wonder whether what they found in the dark was ever meant to survive the light of day.
Delightful dip back into Evergreen Cove! This is a really short novella, and if you’ve recently read the series, you will probably be able to follow along easily … I however read it years and years ago, so I could have used a bit more refresher tidbits built into the storyline to remind us who is who and what’s happened in the past a bit. For being such a short story, it does set a nice foundation for Lynx and Hazel to begin their dating journey, so that was satisfying. I would recommend you go catch up on the earlier part of the series first to make sure you get a full picture.
