Coming Up Roses
by Staci Hart
Book 1 in Bennet Brothers
A flower-shop rom-com with Austen bones, family-business pressure, and a heroine who has every reason to distrust the charming disaster back in town. It is a soft Staci Hart entry with enough open-door heat to keep the greenhouse tension honest.
