Collage of Hearts: A Sweet Meet-Cute Story
Artisan Romance Stories Series, 10
When artist Leila meets park ranger Oren among autumn’s fallen leaves, two hearts discover that the most beautiful art comes from unexpected connections.
Leila has always worked alone, transforming nature’s fleeting beauty into lasting collages. But when she loses a piece of precious birch bark on a collecting walk through Evergreen Park, a chance encounter with Oren—a gentle park ranger with earth-green eyes and an encyclopedic knowledge of trees—changes everything.
What begins as a simple act of kindness blossoms into Saturday morning walks through hidden trails, shared stories beneath golden maples, and the discovery that some moments are too perfect to preserve in art alone. As autumn deepens around Pine Hollow, Leila and Oren find themselves creating something more beautiful than any collage: a love story written in falling leaves and morning mist.
Collage of Hearts is a tender romance that celebrates the magic found in quiet moments, the beauty of seasonal change, and the way love can transform two solitary souls into something whole. Perfect for readers who enjoy gentle love stories, nature settings, and the sweet anticipation of first kisses.
A heartwarming short story about art, nature, and finding love.
