Shelbourne & Mattingly
In Rockland Springs, Kentucky, where family legacies are aged in oak and sealed in blood, Erie Shelbourne and Seth Mattingly have spent twenty-two years perfecting the art of almost. Almost kissing in abandoned tobacco barns during summer storms. Almost escaping their bourbon legacy. Almost admitting what everyone else has always known: they're meant for each other.
Reading this felt like a luxury — every single sentence is just dripping with beauty and emotion. I feel like I need to YELL at someone about this because it's so damn good.
Praise & Reviews
Reading this book is a treasured time.
I don't want it to end.
I’m absolutely immersed in this world. You’ve created something so deeply evocative and tender that I feel like I’m in the room with Erie and Seth, watching their history unfold in real time.
About Suzanne Feinstein
I write stories about Southern misfits finding their way to art, love, and chosen family. Having grown up in Kentucky and Ohio and spending the last 30 years in Tennessee, I know firsthand the rich culture and complexity of small towns—how they can both nurture and challenge those who dare to be different.
