Emma Carter has always lived her life between the stacks. As the quiet head librarian of Millbrook Public Library, she's content with her predictable routines, her thriving houseplants, and the fictional romances she recommends to everyone but herself. That is, until Alex Morrison walks in. Alex is a charming travel writer who's spent years chasing stories across America. When he lands in Millbrook, he never expects the shy, book-loving librarian to catch his attention-or his heart. By day, he asks Emma for book recommendations. By night, he shows her that some of the greatest love stories aren't found in novels but in real life. Between late-night book club meetings, whispered conversations in quiet corners, and unexpected adventures beyond the library doors, Emma must decide: Will she keep her heart safely shelved, or will she take the biggest leap of all? Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sarah Adams, and Abby Jimenez, Love in the Quiet Hours is a cozy, heartwarming romance about books, belonging, and the courage to write your own happy ending.
