When Brit Lord Leo Strathairn is asked to do a reading at his best friend Miles' wedding on the small Sanctuary Island in Virginia, he agrees even though he is hiding a secret from his friends. Wanting to keep them in the dark, he goes to the local library and meets head librarian, Serena Lightfoot. Using all of his charm, he gets Serena to agree to help him - all without revealing his secret.
Serena has always been unlucky in love. She was always attracted to men who only wanted her brain more than her body and once they had what they needed, they dumped her. She was wary of Leo at first but when the sparks between them fly, she is hopeful that she will finally meet someone who wants every last bit of her. But when she discovers Leo's secret, Serena realizes he is just like every other man who has come into her life.
She and Leo realize they are perfect for one another in this sweet little novella. This book is the perfect read for anyone looking for a wonderful, light romance. There is no sex, although it is alluded to, and yet these characters still manage to make you swoon. Leo is the atypical alpha male who thinks doesn't want anyone to know his weakness. And Serena was a nice change from the "men only want to screw me and then leave me" female character that we normally see in these books. The way Leo manages to make Serena know just how much he loves her really makes this book complete. I loved this novella and I am looking forward to reading more by Ms. Everett!
