Fabian Blackwell built a blooming empire across New York City - twelve flower shops known as Budding Romance. To the world, he's a visionary florist with a rare eye for beauty and design. But beneath the petals and perfume, Fabian's world is one of thorns, secrets, and obsession. Haunted by the shadows of his past, he finds himself drawn to the very thing he despises most: the intoxicating allure of flowers-and those who adore them. As desire and danger intertwine, Budding Romance becomes more than a brand. It becomes a battlefield between love, control, and decay.

Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover.
