Pollen and Petals

She plans petals. She wrangles bees. May Day was supposed to be simple…until the town "voluntells" them to share one booth—and one very small plan. Sunshine florist Wren Nakamura cannot say no to a clipboard. Grumpy honey farmer Morgan Ellis cannot say yes to anything involving glitter, committees, or public joy. When the May Day festival runs short on hands (and honey), Wren and Morgan are forced into a flowers-and-honey partnership that smells like spring and trouble. Between chaotic planning meetings, a rainstorm that strands them in town, and a bonfire that stirs up inconvenient feelings, sparks turn into a slow burn neither of them is ready to name. The bees adore Wren. The town adores a love story. Morgan…is still learning how not to run. With a missing flower shipment, meddling neighbors, and a Maypole to dress before sundown, Wren and Morgan have one weekend to figure out if opposites can truly attract—or if fear will send them back to their separate corners. Because some risks sting, and some are sweet enough to keep forever.
