Synopsis

Lauren Steele has always been grateful for her adoptive family’s love and support. So much so that she takes over the family floral business when her parents retire, despite her dreams of working on political campaigns. Instead of crafting clever speeches, she spends her days writing out romantic messages on behalf of her clients—a bittersweet reminder that she’s never been on the receiving end of one of these orders. She’s accepted her simple life—until the sexiest man she’s ever met walks into her shop looking for a job. Ben Specter fixes problems for a living, and he’s been hired to investigate Lauren. His client is a wealthy, powerfully connected man running for governor, and Ben’s research unearthed a massive skeleton in the man's closet—a secret older sister that his mother never mentioned. Getting closer to Lauren is strictly business, but the more time Ben spends with her, the more the lines between work and pleasure blur. But when his deception is revealed, will Lauren be able to trust Ben and believe that what they shared was real?

I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this book, which is the second in a compelling, nuanced series about the complexities of family and identity - alongside a generous helping of romance, of course!
