'Hilarious, cosy, devastatingly romantic . . . a brilliant, magic-filled exploration of second chances' Sarah Adler
A steamy, riotous second-chance romance about a magical florist's unexpected reunion with her high school sweetheart, while she fake dates his soon-to-be stepbrother . . . from the bestselling author of You Deserve Each Other
The small, magical town of Moonville is the perfect place for flora fortunist Romina Tempest to expand her shop, where she uses the language of flowers to help the hopeful manifest their love lives. After giving up on her own big romance many years ago, at least she can bask in the promise of others'.
So when the shop's potential financier shares news of his wedding, Romina jumps at the opportunity to discuss helping the business . . . even if it means she has to fake-date her chaotic colleague Trevor to get an invitation. But all hell breaks loose when she discovers Trevor's soon-to-be stepbrother is none other than Alex King: her high school sweetheart. Her greatest love. The boy who, eleven years ago, broke her heart.
What starts as an innocent misunderstanding becomes a week-long fake-dating scheme, as Romina resolves to make Alex pay for breaking her heart. The only issue? She can't deny their still-burning connection. Caught between showing Alex what he lost and coming clean and risking her business, Romina must decide whether giving Alex another chance means going back on herself, or finally releasing her hold on the past.
