Hearts in Waiting: A Slow Burn Romance Collection

by M.L. Broome

Lingering looks. Stolen touches. Three slow burns that hurt so good.

They weren’t looking for love… but their hearts were waiting. And when love finally showed up? It changed everything.

Fall for three swoony, emotional, and unforgettable later-in-life romances—where the burn is slow, the banter is flirty, and love shows up when it’s least expected.

Make You Stay – A fast-talking New Yorker meets a grumpy single dad in a small town. The friendship? Effortless. The chemistry? Impossible to ignore.

Both Sides Now – She wanted a baby—not a second chance at love. But when a brilliant, broody doctor enters her life, grief gives way to a tender, aching attraction neither of them can deny.

And Then Came You – She’s a romance author with a talent for picking the wrong men. He’s a notorious player with a line of eligible dates and no plans to settle down—until her. Their unlikely friendship sparks something deeper, more complicated, and impossible to resist.

Please This is a collection of three previously published full-length romances now available in one binge-worthy bundle.

800 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

M.L. Broome is a bohemian spirit with a New York edge. Her small-town contemporary romances feature smart and sexy heroines over the age of thirty-five, and sizzle with angsty, slow-burn goodness.

Raised on a steady diet of stories, she grew up believing all men should be like Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre—enigmatic yet unflappable in their devotion. Hence, her own brand of book boyfriend was born.

When M.L. isn’t holding one-sided arguments with her characters (she likens it to herding cats), she loves losing herself to nature on her North Carolina farm, one her rescue fur babies by her side.

Her favorite things? Dressing up and kicking back with a glass of wine and a stunning view, soaking up all the experiences that make the soul and senses tingle.
