WELCOME TO TYLER-BETTER ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES
There’s been a flood at the old library, and the staff needs all the help they can get! Pitch in and catch up on the latest goings-on in America’s favorite hometown.
A LATE-BLOOMING PASSION
Elise Ferguson, Tyler’s head librarian, has slipped uneventfully into middle-aged spinsterhood.
But lately she’s been seen in the company of Robert Fairmont—that distinguished-looking visiting professor of architecture…
OLD RIVALRIES RENEWED
Elise’s sister, Bea, is certain Robert must have ulterior motives. After all, why would any man be interested in Elise? Bea’s snooping uncovers more than even she bargained for—and threatens everyone’s happiness.

“Robert used you, Elise.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Bea.” Elise faced her sister. “You don’t like Robert because you’re afraid that if I fall in love with him, I’ll either abandon you or put you in Worthington House. But it’s too late, Bea. I’ve already fallen in love with him and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
“Then you love a criminal! Ask him about the old library. Ask him why he was in such a hurry to buy it. With your help, he got the place for a song when it’s worth a million, maybe two!”
“I don’t believe you,” Elise whispered, her color fading.
“And now you tell me that you love him.” Bea laughed. “What a joke! If the town was laughing at you before, think what they’ll do now. You love him!”
With her sister’s laughter echoing in her ears, Elise shook her head. “No,” she said hoarsely. “No.”
Welcome to Harlequin’s Tyler, a small Wisconsin town whose citizens we hope you’ll soon come to know and love. Like many of the innovative publishing concepts Harlequin has launched over the years, the idea for the Tyler series originated in response to our readers’ preferences. Your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters within many of the Harlequin lines has prompted us to create a twelve-book series of individual romances whose characters’ lives inevitably intertwine.
Tyler faces many challenges typical of small towns, but the fabric of this fictional community will be torn by the revelation of a long-ago murder, the details of which will evolve right through the series. This intriguing crime will profoundly affect the lives of the Ingallses, the Barons, the Forresters and the Wochecks.
If you’ve got a little time to spare, the volunteers could sure use some help with the crisis at the library. Right now, the old place is being held together by wishes and prayers.
And it seems Judson Ingalls could use some wishes and prayers, as well. A long-awaited announcement from the state coroner’s office has sent him to his bed and thoroughly alarmed Alyssa and his grandson, Jeff.
So join us in Tyler for a slice of small-town life that’s not as innocent or as quiet as you might expect, and for a sense of community that will capture your mind and your heart.
