Secondhand Hearts: A Steamy Small Town Opposites Attract Sapphic Romance
Aurora North
Josie Carter’s life is perfectly curated. Running Secondhand Hearts, the eclectic thrift shop passed down from her grandmother, she is deeply rooted in the sweltering, sun-drenched town of Claremont, Georgia. She knows every vintage dress, every scuffed record, and every local who walks through the jangling front door. But with a rent increase threatening her beloved store and the lingering sting of an ex who abandoned her for the city, Josie has one strict never fall for a woman who isn't planning to stay.
Nia Reyes is definitely not staying. The analytical, guarded grad student from Philadelphia is only in Claremont for an eight-week summer residency. Volunteering at Secondhand Hearts is just a checkbox for her cultural anthropology thesis—until she meets the shop's curvy, vibrant owner. Nia is used to keeping the world at arm's length, but the simmering, opposites-attract tension between them in the narrow aisles of the stockroom is a variable she didn't account for.
When they uncover a hidden stack of vintage 1970s love letters between two women, the beautiful, secret history mirrors the intense, fast-burning spark Josie and Nia can no longer ignore. But Nia's life and career are in Philly, and Josie's entire world is built right here in Georgia.
As the summer heat reaches its boiling point, Nia must decide if she's willing to rewrite her carefully planned future, and Josie must risk her secondhand heart on a city girl who might just leave it behind.
Secondhand Hearts is a steamy, standalone WLW contemporary romance featuring opposites who attract, workplace proximity, intense chemistry, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
