Cinnamon-roll hero • Workplace romance • Grumpy-meets-sunshine • Small-town spring ''' Slow-burn chemistry • Found community • Grumpy carpenter. Sunshine gardener.
One spring project that changes everything.
Hope Delaney believes anything can grow with enough care. David Carter doesn’t believe in miracles—or marigolds. But when a community garden brings them together, even the most carefully guarded hearts start to bloom.
Love in Bloom is a heartwarming small-town romance about second chances, fresh starts, and the kind of love that grows when you least expect it.
Hope Delaney has never met a patch of dirt she couldn’t turn into something beautiful. So when the town council green-lights her dream of creating a community garden on Happily Ever After Lane, she’s ready to dig in, plant hope by the handful, and watch something good take root.
Enter David Carter.
He’s the practical, no-nonsense carpenter hired to build the raised beds and fix the fence—and he doesn’t believe in miracles, marigolds, or the idea that flowers can fix what’s broken. He believes in measurements, hard work, and keeping his heart carefully fenced in.
But Hope sees possibility where David sees problems.
As spring unfolds—with laughter under twinkle lights, late nights turning soil into promise, and a garden slowly bringing the town together—David finds himself softening in ways he never planned. And Hope begins to realize that love doesn’t always arrive in grand gestures or sudden sparks.
Sometimes it grows quietly.
Between rows of tomatoes and forget-me-nots.
Between two people learning to trust again.
And right when you’re not looking at all.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn romance, gentle humor, and happily-ever-afters rooted in community, kindness, and springtime magic.
Genre: Romance
