“Jane?”
The barcode that was supposed to stick to the book was instead stuck to
my finger. I shook my hand hard in an attempt to dislodge it. It didn’t work. I
yanked the sticker off and slapped it on the back of the library book before it
could launch another attack. “What?” I asked, only half paying attention as I
reached for another book and another barcode.
I glanced up and stopped mid-movement. My sixteen-year-old assistant,
Connie, looked shell-shocked. I wondered if something had happened to her
beloved YA section. It was the entire reason she volunteered at the library—
the ability to curate a collection of her favorite young adult authors was an
opportunity she couldn’t pass up.
“Nick Haddon’s publicist is on the phone. For you.”
While I technically recognized the words she was saying as English, the
order in which she’d said them made no sense.
Nick Haddon. Television/movie star. Literally named as the Most
Handsome Man Alive. His publicist was calling me? Why? My face went
slack and my expression probably mirrored Connie’s. This had to be some
kind of prank, right?
But not many pranks happened in our small town of Patience, Ohio.
My very pregnant sister-in-law, Gretchen, had been lying on a couch
near the circulation desk, fanning herself. She’d overheard us, and her fan
went still as her eyes grew wide.
“If I could leap to my feet in triumph, I would,” she told me. I was still
trying to process the fact that Nick Haddon’s publicist was on the phone. “It
worked. I told you it would. You know how much I love being right. And I
was sooo right.”
My brain started to fit all the puzzle pieces together. Auditors from the
governor’s office had shut down our entire local government due to
embezzlement and fraud being committed by the mayor, Wilfred Newcastle,
and he’d emptied the city’s bank accounts.
The library system operated on the county’s budget rather than the
city’s, so that made the librarian the most senior city employee, as the library
was the only branch of the government still open. That meant the librarian
had to step up and take charge of the fall harvest festival, which couldn’t
move forward without a city employee to officially oversee everything.
And the only chance to refill the city’s coffers and reopen the
government was through raising money from the festival.
That librarian was my mom. She had just taken over the festival
planning when my father had a heart attack. I came home to help and ended
up being drafted into taking over her job and the festival.
I had zero experience doing either one.
