Billionaire and the florist

He built the world to his specifications. She was the only bloom he couldn't control.

Christian Lancalester is the Architect of Ruin-a man of glass, steel, and absolute precision.

For five years, he has ruled a hollow empire, haunted by the ghost of a woman he lost to a tragedy no one talks about. He has lived by one rule: keep her flower shop alive in the shadows, but never cross the threshold.

Until a single photograph changes everything.

To satisfy a cold, corporate engagement to the wrong woman, Christian seeks out the rarest flower in existence-the Juliet Rose.

The search leads him away from his skyscrapers to the quiet, fog-drenched town of Bellamy Ridge. There, in a sun-drenched greenhouse, he finds the impossible.

Irena Laurent is alive.

But the woman who once challenged his every design now looks at him with the polite indifference of a stranger.

Her mind is a vault, her memories erased by those who wanted her silenced. She knows how to cultivate beauty from the earth, but she has no recollection of the man who once held her heart.
Now, Christian must play a dangerous game. To the world, he is the powerful CEO finalizing the merger of the century.

To Irena, he is just "Christian"-a mysterious recurring customer with a hauntingly familiar gaze.
As he attempts to court his own wife without breaking the fragile peace of her new life, the shadows of the past begin to stir.

Because some memories are buried deep in the mind, but the heart-like the Juliet Rose-never forgets its roots.

In a city built on secrets, how do you win back a woman who doesn't even know she's lost?
