Hearts in Circulation

by Sarah Monzon · 2025

When the creaky Little Creek bookmobile sputters to a halt in a rock‑blocked hollow, spirited librarian Hayley Holt finds herself stranded with reclusive mechanic Levi Redding. Hayley, who volunteers for the mobile library to give back after a life‑saving liver transplant, is terrified the vehicle will tumble down the mountain. Levi, who lives in the isolated Turkey Grove to escape the world, can fix the engine—but Hayley’s nonstop chatter and accidental touches push his patience to the limit. A misunderstanding forces them into a tentative truce, and a handwritten apology sparks a pen‑pal friendship that blossoms into something far richer than any story on the shelves. Filled with forced‑proximity tension, grumpy‑sunshine chemistry, and a love of books themselves, Sarah Monzon’s contemporary rom‑com proves that the best chapters of life are written together.
