Rose Conklin had been second to her sister, Belly, for her entire life. In everything: school, looks, personality, love... in everything. Except Jeremiah. He was a bee; she was a budding flower. His best friend.

But last summer, everyone was transfixed on Belly. Even Jeremiah. He was under her spell. So was Conrad, and Cam Cameron, and even the stranger in the small shop by their house.

No one ever saw Rose.

But now... now she was in bloom. And a sweet honey bee could never quite ignore the lure of delicate pollen on blossoming petals, could it? Or, had the bee been lingering around that one flower for decades, just waiting for the golden rays of dawn to break through?
