Wildflower Heart
She’s running from a gilded cage. He’s hiding behind a five-year plan. Love wasn’t part of the spreadsheet.
Tori Hamilton has spent her whole life being the daughter her billionaire parents never wanted—an inconvenience to be managed, an asset to be married off. When a lottery win gives her the escape she’s been dreaming of, she lands in the sleepy mountain town of Serenity Crossing, Tennessee, where nobody knows the Hamilton name and nobody expects anything from her except beautiful flowers. But starting over means staying still—and staying still has never felt safe.
Dave Hartwell is the man everyone in Serenity Crossing trusts with their secrets and their tax returns. Meticulous. Reliable. Predictable. He’s heard it all before—especially from the fiancée who left him three weeks before their wedding because life with him felt “planned to death.” Now he keeps his heart as organized as his color-coded calendar: everything in its place, nothing that can surprise him. Until a vibrant florist with purple ink on her fingers and chaos in her wake walks into his office asking him to manage her unexpected fortune.
When the two are thrown together to plan his sister’s wedding reception, their opposite worlds begin to collide in ways neither expected. She challenges his rigid routines; he offers her something she’s never known—someone who actually shows up. But Tori is hiding more than lottery winnings, and when her carefully buried past threatens to explode across the small-town gossip mill, both must decide: Is love worth the risk of being fully known?
In a community where everyone’s business travels faster than Sunday dinner invitations, Tori and Dave will discover that the deepest roots grow in the most unexpected soil—and that sometimes, the most beautiful things bloom when you finally stop running.
