Fumbled Stitches

A Romance Novelette

By: Lona Edwins

Narrated by: James Butler

Quarterback Theo Maddox was supposed to be recovering from a season-ending injury, not dodging lint rollers and modeling sweatpants that cost more than his first car. But image rehab comes with strings… and apparently, a feline.

Designer Isla Montgomery has built her brand on clean lines, sharp boundaries, and zero distractions. So when her minimalist fashion campaign is hijacked by an injured football star—and his opinionated tabby cat—her carefully controlled world unravels faster than a bad hem.

Theo’s charm? Infuriating. His cat? A tiny, fur-covered menace with a talent for sabotaging photoshoots. His unexpected offer to wear Isla’s designs to the team’s high-profile charity gala? Tempting.

But mixing business with feelings has never been part of Isla’s plan.

As sparks fly, tension mounts, and Grace the cat claims squatters' rights in Isla’s life, one thing becomes clear: falling for a quarterback might be the biggest fashion risk Isla’s ever taken.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn banter, enemies-to-lovers tension, and chaotic cats with main character energy.
