Kneading You

Kneading You (2019) C.S. Poe (A Lancaster Story)

I needed some happy fluffy with outside conflict (not internal angst).

Christopher Hughes is is applying for what he hopes will be his dream job–librarian in the small town to which he has moved. But a local businessman wants to tear down the building and put up a shopping mall, so Christopher has to prove not just his worthiness for the job, but that the library deserves to exist.

“This library is not cost-effective. It’s really that simple.”

“But it’s not about making money,” I declared. “It’s about having a safe and free place for people to come and learn!

And then the local handyman walks into his life.

“Uh…. Everything all right?”

“We dated for two years. I broke up with Sam three months ago. It wasn’t an amicable end.”

“Why?”

Miles took my hand and led the way out of the tent and toward the vendor booths. “Someone who loves you shouldn’t want to change you.

It’s just a sweet story, with the angst on the outside of the couple, not between them.
