~ turning point (noun) a time at which a decisive change in a situation occurs, especially one with beneficial results. ~ Morgan Lin has spent the last four years trying and failing to move on from a devastating loss. Settling into a comfortable rhythm of working from home and spending time with those closest to her, the last thing on her mind is romance. Her life may not be 'exciting', but it's safe and steady. The two things she needs as she attempts to recover. When Gabby Vásquez moves in across the hall, sparks fly - and not the good kind. Gabby's dealing with her own heartbreak the only way she knows how, with loud music and kickboxing. The former of which drives Morgan crazy. The latter of which may just be the key to helping her move on. But the more time she spends with Gabby, the more Morgan realizes that, not only is her heart starting to knit itself together again, it may just be opening up to new possibilities. If only she would let it. One apartment block, two souls in need of healing and a turning point that will change everything.

Astoria Wendall-Jones is the picture of perfection. A pretty, poised, event planner who specialises in big parties despite having little time for anything resembling a social life for herself. When she inherits The Astoria, the old movie theatre she's named after, she doesn't realise she is inheriting a giant pain in her arse along with it. Thomas "Tommy" Moore is everything she isn't. Carefree and laid back to the point of being horizontal. He is never worried, never in a hurry and never happier than when he is teasing prim and proper Azzy. As they try to agree a plan to revitalise The Astoria, and despite the many obstacles thrown in their path, they find concealed letters that reveal the historic love story that unfolded inside it's walls and in turn discover love can be found in the most unexpected of places. Open Novella Content prompt: 99. It's always what/who you least expected that blows your mind away. Based on the JAM festival prompt: You inherit a movie theatre - or half of one anyway. You share ownership with the nephew of your deceased relative's best friend. Your first "business meeting" is not auspicious but something about this guy makes you want to give him a chance.
