School librarian Abigail Sterling believes good stories have the power to change lives. So when a growing controversy over ‘inappropriate’ books puts her reputation and career at risk, she refuses to back down. Thankfully, she isn't facing the fight alone. Her friends rally around her, including Xander Pierce, her best friend… and the man who has held a place in her heart for as long as she can remember.
Xander, a reporter for the Woodvale Times, finds himself covering the issue that’s threatening Abigail’s future. The town expects him to report the facts, but being objective is a little difficult when the woman he loves is the one under attack. Convinced he’s inherited his father’s temper, Xander has spent years burying his feelings for Abigail, believing it’s the only way he can protect her. When Abigail moves into his secluded cabin, it tests his self-control more with each passing day.
As the banned book drama intensifies and family struggles overwhelm them both, Abigail and Xander find themselves leaning on each other more than ever. The closer they become, the harder it is to ignore those long-buried feelings. But some love stories are worth fighting for, no matter the risk.
