Barbara Sutton writes sweet, clean contemporary romance filled with small-town charm, beachy vibes, and characters you’ll instantly root for. Her upcoming debut novel, Don’t Catch the Bouquet, launches on Thursday, June 4th!
She’s North Carolina’s fiercest wedding florist. He’s the old flame who just set her carefully arranged life on fire.
Amelia has spent three years working herself to the bone to keep her family’s Crescent Shoals flower shop afloat. She was this close to saving enough for her dream greenhouse—until her massive floral cooler died, zapping her bank account and threatening to ruin peak wedding season in one single, catastrophic afternoon.
With her business on life support, the last thing Amelia needs is her past walking through the door. But three years after breaking her heart to chase a big-city career, Caleb is back in town.
Managing a crisis at his family's coastal inn, the brilliant former Wall Street whiz is everything Amelia shouldn't want. Except now, he’s offering his financial mind to patch up the leaky holes in her business. Working side-by-side under the coastal sun makes the simmering spark between them impossible to deny—but Caleb is still completely unaware of the secrets Amelia is guarding about why they truly fell apart.
Amelia is caught between saving her shop and protecting her heart from the man who once walked away. Can she trust that this protective hero is finally ready to put down roots? Or is she just arranging the flowers for her own heartbreak... again?
