with Hotflashes

What to expect

Sensual, never graphic — a full slow burn from the first stroke of paint.

Hotflashes keeps its eye on the life the story is really about: the work, the room, the small turns that make 45 feel like a second first date.

✎

Dual POV

Both leads, both rooms, both quiet mornings. You see the room as they see it.

⌛

Slow burn

No rushing. The heat is earned, chapter by chapter, stroke by stroke.

❀

Sensual, never graphic

The intimacy stays in the breath, the glance, the pause — not on the page.

☀

Standalone HEA

It doesn't end mid-sentence. It lands where you can close the cover and exhale.

About the book

A midlife romance that begins with an easel, not a bar.

When a freshly-divorced artist has six weeks to finish her first solo show, the last thing she's looking for is someone to watch her work — or, more dangerously, to start seeing her in it.

She thought she had her life painted into shape. Then she turned around, and there he was.

If you root for slow, earned, midlife-honest stories — a book with heat in the pauses, not in the pages — this one is for you.
