Summary
“Why didn’t you call for me, when the ogres came?”
She didn’t ask him what he meant. “Because we had nothing to offer.”
He stopped, genuinely puzzled, his arms full of straw. “Surely you jest.”
“Do I?”
“A pretty lass like you?” He leered. She thought it might have been playful. “I’d have traded for you.”

Summary
Belle French had never thought helping came with strings attached, confident that in a community people naturally tended to help each other, until the day she needed help to keep the library open and no one seemed to care. No one but Mr Gold, whose penchant for dealing could always be counted on, even if the price for his generosity was known to be steep.

Summary
Rowan Gold knew there were three certain things in life: death, taxes and his innate inability to be loved. Which is why he hardly believed it when he found himself, pushing fifty and a pariah in the town he lived in, sparking with the local town librarian, after an accidental public touch that left them both reeling. Belle French was everything he wasn't: beautiful, kind and loved. And now a stone around his neck he can't wait to rid himself of. Love made you sick, after all. Made you weak.
