Description

In the quiet corners of a bustling historical town, friendship blossoms into something far deeper between two artisans who find solace in their shared dedication to craft. Silas, a talented silversmith navigating the intricacies of his identity, finds his steady world shifted when he strikes up a connection with Clara, a gifted quilter whose warmth is as comforting as the patterns she stitches. This Regency-era romance offers a refreshing departure from the usual parade of dukes and ballrooms. Instead, it invites readers into an intimate, vividly realized world where love is built on mutual respect, quiet understanding, and the beauty of working with one's hands. The bond between Silas and Clara is tender and profoundly sweet, highlighting the strength found in being truly seen and accepted by another. Perfect for those seeking a character-driven story that emphasizes emotional depth over grand spectacle, this novella proves that the most impactful romances often happen in the smallest, most authentic moments. It is a gentle, affirming celebration of self-discovery and companionship. If you are looking for a historical gem that prioritizes character authenticity and a soft, lingering connection, these pages offer a heartfelt retreat that stays with you long after the final stitch.

Utterly sweet, gentle, and beautiful

What a perfect little gem! I'm so pleased to read an author who has the skill to create vividly realized characters in the compressed pages of a novella. Fine work, highly recommended. Queer rep, social justice, community, family.

Too cute!

Stars: 3.5 Stars Format: Digital This was so adorable! I don’t normally read much on my phone (so many distractions, hence my ereader) but I wasn’t distracted (much) from this book. Quick Thoughts: - Loved that the heroine has strong opinions and convictions but isn’t written with blinders to everything but what she believes in - The hero is a trans man and there SERIOUSLY needs to be more romances starring trans people - Their loved ones are supportive and wonderful - Yay minimal angst! (Though I love angst in stories.) - I know this is a novella but I REALLY REALLY wanted more of their story. The characters and their budding relationship were adorable but it kinda felt like an incomplete story Even though I felt like there should’ve been more story, this novella was beautifully written and incredibly sweet.

Like a warm hug

Soft, sweet romance between a trans man silversmith and a cis woman quilter. Historical romance with no dukes! Amazing! Short, but fits in about 50 scenes with tea, cider, and coffee which just goes to show how comfy it is. Low heat, but the cider is hot.
