In the Season of Yes: A Collins Novel

Felicity Franklin can plan joy like it's infrastructure-because for her, it is. When Collins decides its fall festival needs "Big Joy," Felicity hears what everyone else misses: crowd surges, blocked routes, sensory overload, and the quiet way events exclude people through cost, access, and invisible expectations. She's determined to build a festival that feels like belonging-not endurance. Enter Ellis Oakwood: arborist, maple producer, and the kind of woman who treats safety like a love language. Ellis protects trees, labor, and systems that hold. Felicity protects flow, people, and the unseen details that make a town event usable for everyone. They clash instantly-two stubborn experts with different priorities and the same refusal to let chaos win. But as weather shifts, vendors wobble, and a last-minute crisis forces a full redesign, Felicity and Ellis discover something rare: a partnership where competence is attraction, boundaries are kindness, and joy doesn't have to hurt. In the Season of Yes is a warm, cozy F/F romance about building inclusive community, making room for nervous systems, and choosing a love that feels like calm-shared responsibility, not adrenaline. Standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
