Antique Future: a small town, instalove, healing together one hour romance short read (Mittersill Antiques Book 1)

“Sydney Kay writes with such tenderness and clarity that even the small moments feel profound—a glance in the shop, an honest word, a decision to stay instead of run.” ARC Reviewer

Blown into town on an autumn breeze of unanswered questions and family secrets, the whirlwind that is Parker Collins is worth getting swept up in.

I should have left with my sister but someone needed to stay and look after our inept father, a broken down shell of the man he once was. At least, that’s what I tell myself. The truth is, I never wanted to leave Mittersill, New York. Until I realized I was becoming the person I stayed here to save.

The moment Parker wanders into my antique shop, avoiding a dreaded encounter that would alter not only his life but his family’s as well, I can’t resist his charm or city boy charisma. He’s layered and as funny as he is compassionate, he’s everything I didn’t know I was looking for.

If he leaves tomorrow as planned, he’ll be taking my heart home with him, and that sounds painful for both me and my ribcage. It’s not easy tightroping that delicate balance between hanging on and letting go, but here we are, dangling together and hoping for a safe place to land.
