Small-town rivals. A high-stakes quilting competition. A city boy with a secret. And a mountain woman who’s not falling for his charm (or those forearms).

She wants him out of town. He just wants to stitch his way into her good graces.

Enemies-to-lovers, but make it Appalachian.

She needs the prize money. He’s the quilting prodigy standing in her way.
She was already going to hate him—then he had the nerve to be charming.
Appalachia small-town grumpy x sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, but make it quilting.

This is a collage-style image that includes a variety of elements suggesting artistic and romantic themes. The collage features a misty aerial view of a quaint town with autumn colors, an image of a detailed quilt, a cozy, cluttered artist's workspace with a sewing machine, a close-up of hands quilting fabric, and a couple embracing, obscured in shadow to evoke intimacy. There are several text elements: one overlaid on the quilt saying "Art should comfort the disturbed & disturb the comfortable," and another in a minimalist style stating "She denies it. But truth is, she’s falling in love with him." Also, the phrase "Aching to touch her" is placed near the image of the couple. Lastly, there's a map highlighting regions with a heart symbol, enhancing the romantic narrative suggested by the text.

A Guide to The Quarter-Inch Rule Romance #W, #R "The Pitch" A grumpy, sharp-witted Appalachian quilter just wants to keep to herself, but when a relentlessly cheerful city-boy quilting prodigy rolls into town, she’s forced to go needle-to-needle with him in the town’s biggest festival competition. But when old feuds, small-town superstitions, and one very stubborn attraction get in the way, will they stitch together a partnership—or unravel completely? For Fans of... It Happened One Summer - "City Slicker" meets local The Pumpkin Spice Cafe - Cozy spice with grumpy/sunshine energy Virgin River - Small-town charm with deep emotional undercurrents Bet on It - Competition subplot Opening Lines These mountains have rules. One, you don’t go out whistling at night. That’d be asking for all kinds of trouble, from bobcat to haint and everything in between. If you make a quilt with thirteen blocks, you better take one out or add one in, otherwise bad luck will stick on you like a tick on a hound. Salt keeps the devil away, and there’s plenty of him in these hollar towns, so it’s best to keep a bag handy to line your windows and doors, especially if you’ve been waking up with your sheets twisted up around your ankles and you’re covered in sweat from a night terror or three. Not that I would know about any of that, or nothing. And when a man enters your quilting store at eight in the morning, wearing clothes that say “city slicker” through every stitch of the fabric, you got every right to be real suspicious.
