Lila Summers has always believed that flowers can heal almost any wound. As the owner of Petals & Posies, her flower shop in the heart of the city, she's found peace in the soft beauty of petals and blooms-until the cold, unyielding force of Lorenzo Hayes walks through her door. Lorenzo, a powerful CEO with a reputation for getting what he wants, has his eyes set on expanding his empire, and he sees potential in Lila's business. But Lila isn't interested in being another cog in his corporate machine. She's built her shop from the ground up, and she's determined to keep it that way.

When Lorenzo offers her a partnership, Lila resists, unwilling to compromise her independence. But as their paths continue to cross, she finds herself questioning everything she's worked for. Is it possible to grow without losing herself? And more importantly, is it possible to trust the man who could either be her greatest ally-or her downfall?

Goodbye Heartbreak (Book 4 Goodbye Series) by redladiebug
47 parts Complete Mature
This isn't your average meet-cute. In fact, it's not cute at all. Rowan Ward is a tattooed florist with a soft heart and a sharp tongue. He likes his solitude, craves his routines, and absolutely panics when his roommate announces he's moving to California. Past trauma makes change feel like a threat, and Rowan doesn't do well with being left behind. Piper Kerrigan is fresh off a fallout with her sorority sister, a college scandal that scorched her family ties, and a sudden eviction that leaves her scrambling for a new place to live. She's just trying to stay afloat while working for event-planning royalty Savannah Monroe Remington and pretending everything's fine. So when Rowan offers up his spare bedroom, Piper is... hesitant. Because it's Rowan. Mysterious. Moody. Tattooed in ways that should not be legal. But also Rowan is safe, gay (probably), and weirdly comforting. Two single roommates. One shared space. Zero romantic expectations. They bond over caffeine, sarcasm, and their mutual hatred of Valentine's Day. But when Piper misreads a key piece of Rowan's identity, what started as a safe arrangement quickly starts feeling like a threat, to her comfort, her rules, and her no-dating-roommates policy. Because this isn't a love story built on fate or convenience. This is an anti-meet-cute. And things are about to get very, very complicated.

Underneath a sky scattered with stars, there's a story waiting to be told-a story of love, loss, and the strength it takes to find oneself. Julia didn't expect her world to shift when she opened the doors of her mother's flower shop one ordinary morning. Harry didn't expect to find solace in a small Italian town, far from the flashing lights of fame. But life has a way of bringing people together when they need it most, even if the journey is messy, complicated, and anything but perfect. This is a tale of finding beauty in the broken pieces, of daring to chase dreams, and of love that feels as vast and untouchable as the stars. Welcome to their story. COVER BY MY FAV: @LIVVSSTARS

It Started With a Peony by Nini-2003

She gave him a flower. He never thought it would change everything. Because sometimes, love begins with a single peony. . . . . There's something magical about Tuesdays. Not unicorns-in-the-sky magical, but the kind of magic where strangers spill coffee, curse under their breath, and keep moving like it's part of the city's rhythm. That's where you'd usually find Solana Montenegro-elbow-deep in peonies at the flower shop, humming to herself, and occasionally yelling joy at strangers who looked like they hadn't laughed since kindergarten. That's how she met him. Tall. Stormy. A suit so sharp it could cut glass. Mr. Moody Grumpsuit. And when she shoved a flower into his hand and told him he needed it, Xander Night had no idea it was the first crack in his perfectly controlled world. It started with a peony. And it was only the beginning.
