The Collection
A spicy small town romance novella
Perfect if you like:
• Grumpy/sunshine
• Age gap
• Witty banter
• HFN endings
Meet feisty Mariam “Moxie” Olsen, who turns trash into treasure with glitter and attitude. Her viral furniture flips made her TikTok royalty.
Ridiculously handsome Elias Thorne is the middle-aged grump to Moxie’s sunshine. He’s got a project and the money.
Does he have the patience?
He wants preservation. She wants transformation.
Every conversation is a snark-fest test of wills. An old-money ex, a high-stakes gala, and a fake date in their small town seal more than one deal.
Furniture restoration becomes foreplay in this steamy slow-burn romance where opposites don’t just attract—they combust.
