Avery Knox got the loan.
Unfortunately, she also got Riley Hart's attention.
Opening a boutique fitness studio in Delaney was supposed to be Avery's second chance: polished floors, fresh mirrors, color-coded plans, and absolutely no room for anyone questioning whether she knew what she was doing.
Then her welcome sign falls off the window, her first classes turn into gossip circuits, and the commercial banker who approved her loan keeps showing up with coffee, risk observations, and inconvenient concern.
Riley Hart is practical, composed, and far too good at noticing what Avery would rather hide. Avery is ambitious, stubborn, and determined to prove she can build something that lasts without needing anyone's help.
Unfortunately, Delaney has opinions.
As the studio becomes a local sensation through rogue resistance bands, viral wellness disasters, and community interference, Avery has to decide whether accepting support means failing-or whether the strongest thing she can do is let someone stay.
Loans, Lunges & Local Gossip is a warm, funny small-town sapphic romance about second chances, public feelings, emotional support disguised as business advice, and a love story the town noticed before anyone was ready.
