Every Silver Gravity story centres women with agency.
She has the skills but lacks the confidence. He has the reputation but lost his passion. Together, they might create something beautiful—if they don't unravel first.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Cara Wellington has mastered the art of playing it safe. As Havenbrook's talented but timid tailor, she's buried her fashion design dreams beneath a mountain of alterations and practical choices. When her coastal town is selected to host a prestigious regional fashion showcase, Cara sees a glimmer of the creative life she abandoned—until she learns who's consulting on the event.
Troy Rivera was once the fashion industry's golden boy, a celebrity stylist whose name opened doors from Milan to Manhattan. Now he's hiding in Havenbrook after a scandal destroyed his career overnight. The last thing he wants is to mentor a small-town seamstress with more precision than ambition.
As Troy reluctantly guides Cara toward the spotlight, their creative chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. Behind every stitch and seam, passion ignites—for the craft they share and for each other. But as deadlines loom and their collection takes shape, so do complications: a tempting job offer in London, a vindictive fashion blogger determined to uncover Troy's past, and the fear that their partnership might unravel as quickly as it formed.
With the showcase approaching, Cara and Troy must decide if their perfectly matched creative vision can extend beyond the runway into a future together. Will Cara find the courage to step into the spotlight with her designs—and her heart? And can Troy trust that true redemption might be found not in reclaiming his past glory, but in the simple joy of creating something authentic with someone who sees his true worth?
A Stitch in Time is a heartwarming contemporary romance about finding the courage to pursue forgotten dreams and the healing power of creative partnership. Perfect for fans of The Proposal, Gilmore Girls, and Debbie Macomber, A Stitch in Time will leave you believing that the best things in life take time to make.
