Love Long Overdue: Mr. Librarian Series, #1

By Claire Hadleigh

All librarians wear cardigans, sensible shoes and glasses, right?  Think again.

Gina Bradshaw has kept her heart under lock and key for years.  Casual relationships have been the norm until the new librarian comes to town.  Now she's fighting against every instinct to keep her heart intact and stumbling headlong into the hot Scots' arms, determined this is just another summer fling, casual, no strings attached.

Adam Cameron, lean-muscled, tall and handsome as sin, knows that Gina Bradshaw is The One from the first moment he sees her.  Now all he has to do is convince her that he's right, but the lass is proving to be obstinate.  All the better as he likes nothing more than a challenge, especially when the goal is not only bedding her, but wedding her, too.

Love Long Overdue is the first in a new contemporary romance series, and an excerpt from Sweet Binding Love, due out in early November, 2018, is included as a fun bonus for my readers!
