Juliet Marlow has two great loves in her life: her flower shop, Wild Petals, and Becca, her brutally honest best friend with a caffeine addiction and zero tolerance for flaky men. After a string of relationships so tragic they could be turned into a cautionary podcast series, Juliet has sworn off dating altogether. She's got peonies to prep, brides to pacify, and not nearly enough time to entertain another emotionally constipated man-child who "isn't looking for anything other than a boody call."
Reed Dalton shows up one night minutes before closing, looking like a lumberjack catalog model with heartbreak in his eyes and a mysterious need for a dozen red roses. Juliet assumes he's either apologizing to his gorgeous girlfriend or burying a body. She lets him in anyway. (Mistake? Possibly. Tempting? Absolutely.)
What starts as awkward banter over flower symbolism turns into late-night coffee dates, slow kisses behind the cooler, and a level of sexual tension that could knock over a bucket of hydrangeas. Reed is funny, charming, and somehow sees Juliet in a way no one else ever has.
