Cathleen Clifford accepted the Romance Writers of America (RWA) Cathie Linz Librarian of the Year Award in New Mexico last month. This honor is presented to a librarian who demonstrates outstanding support of romance authors and the romance genre.

She says, “Every book has its reader, and every reader deserves to find stories that speak to them. Romance novels connect millions of readers to the joy of reading, making them an essential part of any library collection.” Congratulations, Cathleen!

Staff Pick: "One & Only" by Maurene Goo 💛

"Cassia comes from a long line of matchmakers. They possess the ability to look into a person’s past life and see their soul mate. Cassia knows the exact identity of her one true love. But she’s approaching 40 and hasn’t met him in this life. A fling with a young architect named Ellis is the perfect distraction. To her surprise, she feels a deep connection to him and starts to question everything she knows...until she meets his boss, who happens to be her fated. A complicated romance that questions whether you have a choice in love." —LM
