Hearts in Circulation
Book 2 of the Checking Out Love series
304 pages · First published 2025
Circulation librarian Haley Holt keeps Little Creek’s unreliable bookmobile running because serving the community helps her feel worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child. Her worst fears about the vehicle come true when it breaks down just as a rockslide traps her in the tiny hollow of Turkey Grove. Reclusive mechanic Levi Redding can fix the bookmobile, but Haley’s nonstop conversation and unexpected touch leave him overstimulated, making their forced proximity awkward from the start. A misunderstanding and an apologetic note open an epistolary friendship that lets two very different people discover one another more carefully than a first impression allowed.
