Contracted to Blossom
(2025)(The second book in the Summer at the Blossom Cottage series)
A novel by Emily Selby
Anna is 30 and already burnt; she is not looking for love, too scared to be trapped in a bad relationship and too tired of dramas. Away from her home country (New Zealand), she is trying to rebuild her life after a breakup and find a new home.
But it's hard to have your own place if your income is modest and you live in London. So when an opportunity to flat together with a colleague presents itself, she accepts it, only to discover Mat has a hidden agenda. Maybe not entirely hidden, since he talks to her openly about it, but still...
Mat is a young man who grew up in a loving family and longs for one of his own. But after his recent serious relationship fizzled out, he's too scared to fall in love. But the longing and a promise he has made to his sister are hard to ignore; plus he might have just found the perfect person to make a crazy offer to: a sweet, caring, smart and beautiful colleague–Anna.
But Anna hesitates. How is she supposed to respond to his offer of a contracted relationship? It's like an arranged marriage or marriage of convenience. But Anna is not looking for convenience. She is not looking for marriage either, scared to end up trapped with the wrong person. Having said that... Mat is an awesome guy: smart, sweet, caring, funny, and good-looking; a true cinnamon roll guy (and he's Swedish!). He offers her something she has longed for: stability and the possibility to build a place to call home.
Will Anna and Mat find a way to each other's hearts?
Contracted to Blossom is a clean romance story, a twist on the "contract bride" trope, which follows the middle of the Kellys' sister on her path to love, self-discovery and a place to call home. There is also room for music, amazing nature, sisterhood, and family dynamics.
This is Book 2 in Summer at the Blossom Cottage series. It takes place partially in London, England, and north of Sweden.
Genre: Romance
