When fire chief Lucas Hayes asks a local florist to help decorate a town fundraiser, neither expects the request to change anything beyond centerpieces. Lucas has battled flames for years, but nothing readies him for Tessa Moore steady, solitary, and carrying the weight of her own losses.
Tessa has kept her life quiet inside Bloom & Vine, her world shaped by flowers and routine. Love has stayed tucked away, like the old notes her mother once left between book pages. But when Lucas steps into her shop with his young daughter and a look that speaks of weariness, her careful order begins to shift.
Late-night design sessions turn into something harder to ignore. A custody fight looms. And when fire strikes closer than expected, both must decide what it really means to trust, to rebuild, and to stay even when leaving might be easier.
Can two lives marked by loss find a future rooted in home?
