Refashioned by Love

Designer Josephine Stewart is used to being dismissed. Okay, making fashion from trash is strange, and her obsession with the art form and its potential to shed light on fashion's role in climate change and disease rates does have her wrapped tight like a roll of caution tape. But if Josephine only had enough funds to launch an upcycled fashion house, she could finally escape her abusive boss and spotlight fast fashion's toxic legacy*.* Her gallerist supports her. Josephine's twenty-three-year-old daughter believes in her. Now, angel investor Theo Casabella does, too. Still haunted by the deaths that his family company's waste management practices caused, Theo won't rest until he's made the environment safe again, one eco-friendly business at a time. Huge sales at Josephine's gallery show prove her trash-to-couture idea could succeed—once it's scaled up. Theo can help Josephine develop the business savvy she lacks. But is Josephine's vision of a hyper-local shop a solid investment? As Josephine and Theo collaborate, they can't fight the mutual attraction weaving them together, but clashing ideals threaten to trash their love and rip her business apart at the seams.
