Mitch DeMario, a former Marine and security consultant, is no stranger to danger—or heartbreak. After years on the battlefield, he’s traded the chaos of combat for the quiet of Blossom Springs. But when fiery florist Izzy Payton storms into his life, she brings a new kind of challenge he’s not prepared for.
Izzy Payton is a fiercely independent woman determined to protect her family’s flower shop, Petal Pushers, from a string of mysterious sabotage attempts. Sabotaged deliveries and threatening notes have turned her once-peaceful life into a whirlwind of suspicion and fear. The shop, her last connection to her late father, is everything to her—and she’s not about to let anyone take it away.
When Izzy hires Mitch to uncover the truth, their professional relationship quickly ignites into something neither can ignore. As danger escalates and tensions rise, Mitch’s protective instincts clash with Izzy’s fierce independence. Together, they’ll have to navigate sabotage, secrets, and the undeniable pull of their growing connection.
Will Mitch and Izzy catch the culprit before it’s too late—or will the sparks between them burn them both?
