Overdue Kisses

A swoony enemies-to-lovers romance for fans of bookish banter, forced proximity, and cozy libraries.Librarian Penelope Cassidy likes her books quiet, her stacks orderly, and her life perfectly predictable. Her library is her sanctuary, a place where happily-ever-afters are safely tucked between the pages. The last thing she needs is a know-it-all tech consultant barging in to "modernize" everything.Enter Evan Daniels-smug, charming, and armed with more gadgets than Penelope cares to count. From the moment he arrives, it's war: dusty card catalogs versus shiny new screens, tradition versus progress, Austen versus algorithms.But when a storm leaves Evan temporarily homeless, Penelope finds herself with an unexpected houseguest. Suddenly, late-night debates over literature and technology blur into laughter, stolen glances, and sparks she can't quite shelve. And when Penelope's "Blind Date with a Book" event spirals into charming chaos-with one very opinionated town getting involved-she begins to wonder if the story she's been waiting for has been standing right in front of her all along.Charming, witty, and brimming with small-town magic, Overdue Kisses proves that some love stories are timeless… and others are just a little overdue.
