Harper Graham The Cherry Crush Flower Shop

Their relationship is fake... The chemistry is not! A small-town girl with the coziest flower shop and a secret crush. A dark, rugged veteran with scars only she can see. Could fake dating turn into happily ever after? Gilmore Girls + spice = ¿¿¿ Zoe Hart is right where she belongs: in the small town of Maple Falls, running her snug flower shop filled with the scent of rain-soaked earth, dried herbs, and spiced tea. But her oldest friend (and secret crush) Jackson is back too. And most of all, she longs to be in his strong arms. So when her hopelessly romantic mom bets on them being Maple Falls' Couple of the Year, Zoe finds herself fake-dating the friend-zoned guy she's always wanted... When Jackson returns from military service, even working on his llama sanctuary can't heal him. But Zoe is the only person who can truly make him smile. He'd do anything for her... even pretend to be dating. There's nothing fake about his feelings as he crushes his lips to hers. But there's no way she'd really want a broken man like him, would she? All eyes are on them as the town prepares to vote for Couple of the Year. But when they discover a grove carpeted with long-lost flowers that shimmer like moonlight, real sparks fly. Will their make-believe romance bloom into true love forever? Snuggle in with a steaming mug and a novel that feels like a hug on a crisp day. This cozy small-town romance is brimming with steamy romance and heart-warming, feel-good charm. Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Laurie Gilmore, Emily Henry, and all things cozy + spicy.
