Rooted in You--COMPLETED ✔️

"I love you, I'm sorry."

Falling in love with Grayson Blackwell wasn't part of Rosalie's five-year plan. She was supposed to coast through her junior and senior year at Evercrest Academy, study hard, and open her own flower shop in New York.

But the golden boy of the school had a different idea. Captain of the football team, top of his class, and heir to the wealthy Blackwell family, Grayson has it all.

Except he wants Rosalie.

Shy, smart, and kind, she's bewitched him since the second she first walked into Evercrest.

And when he pairs up with her for a project, their hearts do the talking.

But then Rosalie leaves.

She kills their true love and disappears, shattering Grayson's heart and, molding a completely different person in his wake. Long gone is caring, sweet Grayson. He's been replaced by one of the most influential and successful CEOs in business history, Mr. Blackwell.

Rosalie hated leaving the only boy she's ever loved, but time has moved on for her. Although her broken heart still longs for him and the "what-ifs?", Rosalie's living what was supposed to be her dream life.
So why does she feel so empty?

Time hasn't moved on for Grayson, though. He's still mesmerized by Rosalie, and when he stumbles into her flower shop, the one they talked about building together, he won't let her go again.

Letting her leave was the worst mistake of his life, and one he won't make for a second time.

Rosalie doesn't want to break her heart again, and now, Grayson has all the power to shatter it beyond repair.

She wants to keep him at arms length.

He just wants her.
