The Busybody Building

💼 The Busybody Building – A Shared World RomCom Anthology

One building. Nine floors. Countless chances to fall in love.

Welcome to The Busybody Building, a shared world romcom anthology set in a charming, renovated office building in fictional Brighton Hill, Florida. Each floor houses a different business—from bakeries and startups to PR firms and wellness centers. And at the center of it all? Silas Greene, the nosy (but lovable) building manager who somehow shows up at just the right moment.

Each author will choose a different floor/business to set their love story in. Stories can feature longtime crushes, new sparks, workplace rivals, second chances—you name it, as long as it brings heart, humor, and connection to the halls of The Busybody Building.
