Of Old Books and Clay: A Sapphic Romantic Comedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798274858946)

When opposites attract, sparks fly-but can love survive a betrayal hidden in the fine print?

Bonnie Armstrong runs her life like her bookstore: perfectly organized, meticulously planned, and blissfully quiet. So when pottery artist Jackie Reyes opens a studio next door with her creative chaos and boundary-crossing enthusiasm, Bonnie does what any reasonable person would do-she files a formal complaint with the city council.

Problem solved. Except Jackie turns out to be nothing like the disruptive artist Bonnie imagined. She's talented, safety-conscious, and sees something beautiful in Bonnie's carefully constructed world that no one else has ever noticed. When Jackie calls her bookstore a "sanctuary," Bonnie finds herself doing something completely unprecedented: falling in love with her charming new neighbor.

But bureaucracy has a long memory, and Bonnie's forgotten complaint letter resurfaces at the worst possible moment-just when Jackie needs her most. Suddenly, the woman who makes Bonnie laugh, challenges her control issues, and introduces her to pleasures she never knew she wanted is facing the loss of everything she's built.

Now Bonnie must choose between the safety of her systematic life and the beautiful chaos of loving someone who deserves better than betrayal disguised as civic responsibility.

A steamy sapphic romantic comedy about opposites attracting, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the best plans are the ones you never saw coming.
