His Favorite Flower

"No one has ever given me flowers before, never thought the florist would need them. Not until him."

At 25 years of age, Laoise Murphy suddenly left her hometown, Limerick, Ireland, like she was running from something. She showed up in Venice, Italy with a half-baked plan to start a flower shop and live as peacefully as she could. She bought the smallest, cheapest building on her block and turned it into her home and shop. For a few months, she handled her business, Peace and Primroses, without worry, believing she had finally found the peace she had been searching for. And then he came. He came into her life like a hurricane, wrecking everything in his path. But despite the chaos he brought with him, she loved him anyways.

"She has brought like into my world, like a sunflower sharing with me the warmth she has gathered."

Alessio Lombardi lived a hard life on the streets of Venice, Italy, doing odd jobs for a bit of cash ever since he was young. At 18, he was given the opportunity to train to be a bodyguard, putting his life on the line for his clients to get his pay. Now at 28 years old, he has spent the last 3 years guarding a famous model named Bianca Russo. Bianca requested of him to gather information on all the local flower shops to find the best one to employ for her upcoming birthday party. Alessio met Laoise in Peace and Primroses and fell for her immediately. She became his obsession, his horrible addiction. He couldn't leave her alone even if he tried.
