I always thought love wasn’t in the cards for me.My days revolved around my flower shop, where I poured my heart into every petal and stem, crafting beauty for others while keeping my own heart safely guarded. But then he walked in—Brandon Everest, a devastatingly handsome billionaire with eyes like a storm and a voice that made my pulse race. I wasn’t ready for his attention, his kindness, or the way he saw past my walls. Could I really trust someone from a world so different from mine?
For years, I’ve built my empire, filling my days with success and my nights with emptiness. Love was something I never dared hope for—until I walked into her shop. Lily Palmer wasn’t just another florist; she was everything I didn’t know I needed. Her passion, her independence, her stubborn refusal to let me sweep her off her feet only made me want her more. But my past haunts me, and hers keeps her guarded. I’ve spent my life conquering challenges, but she’s my greatest one yet. Can I prove to her that I’m more than a man with money, that I’m the partner she’s been waiting for? Or will our differences pull us apart before we’ve even begun?
A simple, cozy interracial love story with some steam and first time tropes. Low plot, high heat.
