Blossoms and Be Mine

A fake relationship, a Valentine's Day contest, and one very real kiss… Rowan's floral shop is on the verge of collapse. Robert's chocolate business is barely keeping up. The solution? Enter Heartwood's Cutest Valentine Couple Contest—and fake their way to the grand prize. It should have been simple. A few staged dates. A couple of well-placed smiles. Just enough charm to convince the town they were a picture-perfect couple. There's just one problem: Rowan has built a life she loves, running her floral shop with her best friend by her side. But when fake dating gets a little too real, she'll have to decide if risking her heart is worth it—especially when that heart belongs to the one person who's always seen her for exactly who she is. For Rowan, love was never part of the plan. For Robert, she's been the plan all along. Winning the contest was supposed to save their businesses. They never expected it to risk their hearts. A heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with: Fake Dating (but make it too real) Best Friends-to-Lovers Feels (slow burn, soft yearning, ugh, just kiss already!) Small-Town Shenanigans (meddling neighbors, big gestures, & a whole lot of town gossip) Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Sophie Sullivan, and Annette Christie.
