WALLFLOWER IN BLOOM
By Elise Kennedy

🌸 A summer of fame, foliage, and fake dates!

One painfully shy plant lover.
One irresistible television star.
One fake relationship that's about to get very real.

From romance author Elise Kennedy comes Wallflower in Bloom, a spicy contemporary romantic comedy filled with fake dating, celebrity romance, irresistible chemistry, and unexpected love.

Violet Parker has always been more comfortable surrounded by plants than people.

Quiet, shy, and happiest tending to her beloved greenery, Violet has big dreams for her struggling flower and plant shop, Bloom.

Unfortunately, growing a successful business requires stepping outside her comfort zone.

And that's easier said than done.

Enter Jack Grant.

Handsome, charming, and famous, Jack is the television star Violet has admired from afar.

But behind his irresistible smile, Jack has a serious problem.

After a public relations disaster threatens his carefully cultivated image, the notorious playboy needs to convince the world he's a respectable, family-friendly leading man.

And he needs to do it fast.

His solution?

Find the perfect fake girlfriend.

When Jack meets Violet, he realizes she's exactly what he needs.

She's sweet, genuine, and completely unlike the women he's usually seen dating.

Meanwhile, Violet realizes that Jack's celebrity status could provide the publicity her struggling flower shop desperately needs.

It's the perfect arrangement.

They'll pretend to date for the summer, promote Bloom together, and convince everyone they're the ultimate plant-loving couple.

No real feelings.
No complicated attachments.
No falling in love.

Simple, right?

Except spending time together makes pretending increasingly difficult.

As Violet begins discovering a confidence she never knew she possessed, Jack finds himself drawn to the woman behind the shy exterior.

And when he discovers Violet's secret list of romantic experiences she'd love to explore, their arrangement takes a decidedly steamy turn.

What begins as a summer of no-strings attraction quickly becomes something neither expected.

But with Jack's celebrity lifestyle, Violet's dreams for her business, and their very different worlds standing between them, can their fake romance survive when real feelings begin to bloom?

Filled with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, emotional vulnerability, and plenty of romantic tension, Wallflower in Bloom is a charming love story about stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering that sometimes the best relationships begin with a little pretending.
