Heirlooms, Heartlines & Holding On: A Delaney Novel

An estate appraiser knows how to price what people leave behind. A textile historian knows how to preserve what everyone else overlooks. Gemma Dell arrives at Wentworth House to catalog antiques, calm bickering heirs, and keep the estate process moving. Priya Patel arrives to protect the fragile textiles tucked away in trunks, cabinets, and a locked sewing room no one has opened in years. At first, they disagree on almost everything. Gemma believes families need practical answers. Priya believes history deserves patience. But when a hidden quilt, secret letters, and a missing woman's story reveal the emotional cost of everything the Wentworth family tried to bury, Gemma and Priya must decide what should be sold, what should be saved, and what it means to hold on without getting stuck. Warm, witty, and tender, Heirlooms, Heartlines & Holding On is a sapphic small-town romance about family secrets, forgotten love stories, and two women learning that some things are worth preserving.
