Harbor Branch Library smells like paper and possibility, and Tamsin keeps it that way—policy, patience, and a heart she refuses to shelve.
Visiting instructor Whit Carter returns every book early and never cracks a spine. He also hides a name the town worships: A. Wren.
One confession sparks a pact of quiet. They set boundaries, choose waiting, and let desire learn their rules behind a closed office door.
But rumors travel faster than truth. A whisper becomes a spectacle, a camera hunts for faces, and their room—her life’s work—hangs in the balance.
To keep the library safe, they must practice a braver intimacy: consent, courage, and the art of saying no to a world that demands a show.
When the lights go low and the lamp is the only witness, can love built on privacy survive public hunger?
