The Soft Place
A slow-burn romance about grief, forgiveness, and falling in love where it hurts the most.
Elias Rosette never meant to return to the city—or to the father who abandoned him long before he ever left. But when his estranged father’s failing animation studio pulls him back into a world of old wounds and unfinished business, Elias is forced to confront the life he thought he’d escaped.
Autumn Wilson has poured her heart into Robot Studios. She’s fiercely loyal to its artists, protective of the creative family she’s built, and determined to keep the studio alive at any cost. When Elias arrives, sharp-tongued and emotionally guarded, she sees him as a threat to everything she’s fought to preserve.
Working side by side, tension sparks. Misunderstandings deepen. And slowly, something softer begins to unfold.
Beneath Elias’s hard exterior is a man carrying profound grief and a longing to belong. Beneath Autumn’s strength is a woman exhausted from holding everything together alone. As the studio’s future hangs in the balance, their guarded hearts begin to recognize something achingly familiar in each other, a shared pain, a shared hope, and a love neither expected.
This emotionally rich, slow-burn romance explores what it means to choose love after loss, and to rebuild not just broken places, but broken hearts.
