Fiona Turner, CEO of Fiona’s Flowers floral shop, believes she’s in control of her life and on top of the world, until her meticulously created castles of sand begin to crumble, leaving her to choose between the man she loves and everything else she has.
Fiona hasn’t the time nor inclination to bother with men until she finally meets the face on the other end of the phone. Having remained friends, she never suspected her ex husband, Quade, would morph into a terrifying, controlling, law-bending monster. When Fiona exhibits the first signs of wanting to move on in life, he threatens to take everything from her.
A long weekend at a conference answers all of Fiona’s questions about floral supplier, Bo Thompson, except how she can possibly have him. She’ll never know what she’s missing unless she risks everything for love.
About the Author:
Raised in the South and transplanted to a midwestern New Age community, Roxy Blue writes about the types of down-to-earth characters that dispel the notion of romance being rubbish. After thirteen years as an exotic dancer, she developed a rare autoimmune arthritis that gave her an excuse to settle down and focus on writing. She now lives in Asheville, NC, with the kind of hunk she likes to read about, and their two ridiculous cats.
Refund Policy:
- You may request a full refund prior to the ticket cutoff.
