Every Rose that Blooms

In this heartfelt and charming small-town romance, a feisty florist partners with a shy artist and a too-charming investor to save her shop—only to discover that the love she’s been looking for has been there all along.

The third standalone book in the Peace Crossing series—clean small-town women’s fiction with sweet romance, big heart, and a bit of grit.

Sometimes the love you long for blooms right before your eyes.

Madeleine Kennedy has spent years holding everything together. Her mother’s health. The flower shop she manages. Her heart after yet another Prince Charming turns into a frog. And when her boss offers to sell her the shop, Maddie wants to say yes so badly it aches. But wanting things—and trusting people to come through—has a nasty habit of backfiring on her.

Then there’s Luke Anderson. The quiet artist with a knack for making real-as-life ceramic roses and for looking at her in a way that makes her forget she’s given up on love. He’s kind, talented, and bafflingly blind to his own potential—potential Maddie would love to see grow, if he could only get out of his own way.

When her handsomest customer—a charming doctor with a playboy rep—offers to finance her dream, Maddie pushes aside her misgivings and convinces Luke to join her in an unlikely partnership. But just when everything’s coming up roses, a family crisis brings Maddie’s responsibilities crashing home and confirms her worst fears about the men in her life. Now Maddie has to decide whether to guard her heart like she always has—or trust that this time, love might actually stay.
