Collecting Elizabeth : The Art of Obsession in the Charleston Heat
Overview
Collecting Elizabeth
Set in Charleston, South Carolina
He came to settle an estate. She was never part of the plan.
When Elizabeth Sorrel inherits her late father's struggling Charleston art gallery, she's determined to save the only piece of her father's legacy she has left. The gallery is drowning in debt, haunted by whispers of the past, and filled with secrets her father never intended to leave behind.
Jack Colter, a successful Washington State vineyard owner, arrives expecting to settle the estate and walk away. Instead, he finds himself drawn into Elizabeth's fight to rebuild the gallery-and increasingly captivated by the fiercely independent woman who refuses to let anyone carry her burdens.
As Elizabeth works to restore the gallery, the attention of celebrated artist Miles Davenport begins to shift from admiration to obsession. What first appears to be professional mentorship slowly reveals something far more unsettling, forcing Elizabeth to question her instincts and everyone around her.
With Charleston's historic streets, hidden ghosts, and old loyalties closing in, Elizabeth and Jack must decide whether trust is worth the risk. But some paintings hold more than memories, and some obsessions refuse to remain buried.
In a city built on old money, haunted history, and dangerous devotion, love may be the only thing powerful enough to rewrite the past.

- Atmospheric Charleston settings
- Slow-burn contemporary romance
- Protective heroes and independent heroines
