Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver writes small-town romance where the town is close enough to gossip and the two people at the center have to be honest with each other before anything else can work. In «Hopeless», a man everyone treats as fine meets a woman who won't let him keep hiding the crack underneath, and in «Wild Eyes» the back-and-forth is sharp and the heat is real, with a man who sees a woman's fire and steps back to watch it burn. Start with «Hopeless» if you want the quieter, more stubborn kind of falling; start with «Wild Eyes» if you want the banter and the sparks first.

Feels like love, tenderness and longing.

Start with Hopeless.
