Together, despite their frustrations, they work together to solve the town’s newest mysteries. This leads her to connect with the town’s sheriff, John Hartwell, recent divorcee, single father, and major DILF. What she finds instead is the unexpected: a newborn baby in the bathroom of her tiny library. When Molly Montgomery moves to Little Bridge in the Florida Keys after her failed engagement, she expects life as the small town’s librarian to be checking out books and running cookie decorating programs. What do you get when you mix a recently dumped librarian, a major DILF, and a baby abandoned in a bathroom? No Offense, but a really f***ing good novel.

Recently divorced, John has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. Molly’s lilting librarian voice makes even the saltiest remarks go down sweeter, which is bad as long as she’s a witness but might be good once the case is solved―provided he hasn’t gotten on her last nerve by then. Good thing she doesn’t work for him, considering how attracted he is to her. John would be pretty irritated if one of his deputies had a desk as disorderly as Molly’s. Not the best of starts, but the man’s arrogance is almost as distracting as his blue eyes. When John Hartwell folds all six-feet-three of himself into a tiny chair and insists that whoever left the baby is a criminal, Molly begs to differ and asks what he’s doing about the Island’s real crime wave (if thefts of items from homes that have been left unlocked could be called that). So does the sheriff who comes to investigate the “abandonment”. But fate―in the form of a newborn left in the restroom―has other ideas. Now, as Little Bridge Island Public Library’s head of children’s services, Molly hopes the messiest thing in her life will be her sticky-note covered desk. A broken engagement only gave Molly Montgomery additional incentive to follow her dream job from the Colorado Rockies to the Florida Keys.
