Petals Beneath Lavender Skies
By Rin Sharma
In the sleepy seaside village of Bellrose Cove, the scent of salt and wildflowers carries secrets, stories, and the softest kind of magic.
When Ermera-quiet, bookish, and newly returned to her grandmother's weathered cottage-takes a job at the local bookshop, she hopes to find peace among pages. Instead, she finds Eira: the radiant florist who knows exactly which bloom matches a feeling, and who makes Ermera's heart stutter like a skipped line of poetry.
What begins with a water-damaged delivery and a favor involving pressed petals turns into shared pastries, poetry read aloud in twilight, and impromptu picnics beside the dunes. As the summer deepens and the Harbor Lights Festival draws near, the two women must navigate the quiet anxieties of belonging, the ache of past choices, and the fragile unfolding of something tender and real.
A story of soft touches, slow trust, and a love that grows like lavender in sunlit soil-Petals Beneath Lavender Skies is a heartwarming celebration of connection, courage, and finding home in another soul.
