Lovie Paris Hart has built a beautiful life rooted in the simple things she loves most-flowers, family, quiet mornings, and meaningful moments. As the owner of Bellamere's beloved Petal House, she's known for creating breathtaking arrangements that celebrate love in all its forms, even though she's never been lucky enough to find the kind of love that accepts her exactly as she is. Then Madden Valentine walks into her flower shop looking for flowers for his mother's grave, and what starts as a simple customer interaction slowly becomes the one part of her day she begins looking forward to. Neither of them rushes to define what they're becoming. They're just Madden and Lovie, choosing each other one conversation, one dinner, and one quiet moment at a time. Madden has spent years building an empire where trust is rare and peace is even rarer, but the soft-hearted florist who never asks him to be anyone other than himself quietly changes everything. As their lives become deeply intertwined, the weight of his dangerous world collides with the peaceful one she's worked so hard to build, forcing them to discover whether love is enough to survive grief, violence, sacrifice, and the unexpected turns life has waiting for them.

At twenty-six, Brielle Naomi Brooks is known throughout the city as the perfect pastor's wife-elegant, faithful, and devoted to the church her husband built from the ground up. But perfection is a fragile thing. She spent her entire life dressed in white, living by rules written by others. Then she met him-a man stained in crimson. Blood. Violence. Sin. The deeper she fell for him, the more she realized she was becoming crimson.
