THORNE : A BILLIONAIRE'S PRIVATE CHEF SPINOFF
Burgandy Weiler owns Burgandi’s Bouquet, a chain of successful floral shops. She’s the mother of two beautiful children, and the wife of Christopher Weiler.
Christopher AKA Crypt is every woman’s dream - Fine and rugged, with long money and even longer connections. Upgrading Burgandi he takes her from cleaning dirty hotel rooms, to being a boss. However, behind closed doors, Crypt is battling a sex addiction that has Burgandi feeling like a visitor in her own marriage.
Thorne Ellis grew up in the rough streets of Detroit, but his heart was always in the garden. His late grandmother, Marigold, introduced him to the beauty of floristry; and now his shop, Hustler’s Garden, is thriving - Blending street edge with floral elegance. With a booming business and his two best friends since childhood, Thorne doesn’t have a desire for a relationship - Just fleeting encounters that never linger past dawn.
When Burgandi and Thorne cross paths, their shared love for floristry sparks an undeniable connection. Determined to remain faithful, Burgandi fights the chemistry between them; until resisting becomes impossible. Thorne becomes her escape - A breath of fresh air from a life she chose for financial security rather than love.
Their steamy rendezvous ignite a passion Burgandi never knew she was missing. However, danger lurks in the shadows. Someone knows about their affair, and the consequences of exposure could be deadly. While Crypt plays the role of a strait-laced businessman, Burgandi knows the truth. His past is littered with buried bodies, and betrayal isn’t something he won’t forgive easily.
Will Burgandi risk everything for a love that makes her petals bloom? Or will the man who once plucked her from the weeds of struggle be the storm that rips her from the ground?
In love and flowers, every seed holds the promise of something beautiful; but not everything is meant to survive the seasons.

O’Sharra you did your big one with this one!!! This book is literally all about when a women is fed up all while falling for another man!!!! That’s all you can say about this book. Burgandi and her husband have their own thing going on but I wish they would keep it real and just get a divorce. Burgandi is honest with her self as to why she is staying I’ll give her credit for that but dang. Thorne and her have an encounter innocent enough but the burn and desire is on 100. Once Thorne becomes her escape it’s over for everything and everyone. This book is so good I’m glad there is a part to because my mouth was wide open with the people lurking in the back grounds and the ones trying to be known/seen. I don’t put nothing past Crypt I know him and movie have something up their sleeves.

Throne trying to set boundaries with the women he's having sex with has.come back to bite him because now his grandmother's dream was literally going up in smoke but who could have done it and.why, it may have been Crypt even though he's out of town doing his thing I feel he still had eyes on Burgundy can't wait for book 2.

July 14, 2025Poor Burgandi has to seek comfort from another man, because her husband is a sex addict! He seemed very in love with her in the beginning and now it's come to this! Im still not good on her lying about the paternity of her daughter. I was thinking he wanted to do right by her believing he is Bloom's father! If she tells him maybe he might let her go! However someone else is in the picture. I think Lovie is gonna end up pregnant! Its always the ones closest to you that has it out for you! Im thinking Tako! I find it odd that of all the times for Thorne to not use a condim was a big mistake!!! Looking forward to next installment!! WHO SET IS PLACE IN FIRE?

😱😱😱😱😱
I know you didn’t just leave us hanging like that lol but I’m here for it all crypt strikes again they just need to go their separate ways I believe he knows bloom is not his baby and that’s why he started back sleeping with other women but why not just tell her and walk away and charge it to the game

Diamonds, Emeralds and Rubies all shine and are expensive investments however if your happiness is dependent on expenses then you aren’t never going to be satisfied.
Self worth is not on others view of you it’s how you view yourself, boundaries in relationships are important and respect goes beyond pride.

Whoa!
There was a lot going on in this book, but I loved it! I think Burgandi should just leave Crypt if she's so unhappy. Thorne has messed up by being with Lovie one last time. I believe Crypt is he culprit sending Burgandi pictures and setting Thorne's shop on fire. Part 2 me please...

I don’t know why Burgundy keeps messing with Crypt, knowing he’s not working with a full deck. Unfortunately Thorne messed around and found out! Little do they know Crypt is just getting started. I can not want for book 2!

Wow
Burgundi is missing some clues in her mystery. Crypt is seemingly not happy or love anymore, but it's possible he thinks he is. Thorne is unsure of his feelings for Lovie. I think he really likes her. Tako and Kaelix are too funny best friend and real best friend😆

Loved it
I feel it for Thorne. I know Burgandi's husband is behind that. She knows how crazy her husband is. He is wrong to burn down Thorne's shop when he is sleeping with all kinds of women. I hope Lovie doesn't end up pregnant for Thorne. Great Read!

Dang
Some people can't catch a break. Just when life seemed to be moving in the right direction, well almost, more drama rears it's head.
