Overview

Isabelle Marchand has spent her life in hotels. At twenty-eight, she arrives in Portland with a portfolio, a suitcase, and no intention of staying —until she walks into a bakery on Hawthorne and a firefighter walks in behind her and turns her world upside down. Nora Hayes isn’t looking for anyone. Especially not a woman who sends two-hundred-dollar bouquets to fire stations and doesn’t know how to grocery shop. The Heiress is a slow-burn sapphic romance about wealth and belonging, the language of staying, and what it costs to choose one place — and one person — on purpose. Book Two of The Marchand Women. Can be read as a standalone.
