Summary

Sarah Hayes has spent years burying her grief in the petals of Bloom & Vine, the flower shop she and her late husband once dreamed of together. Each bouquet she ties feels like a reminder this quiet ache is simply her new normal. But when Daniel Reed, her husband’s best friend, returns after ten years away, the careful life Sarah has built begins to shake.
 
Daniel carries his own regrets, heavy with promises he never kept. Guilt drove him from the only place that felt like home and from the woman he admired more than he ever admitted. Now, back to manage a restoration project, he finds himself standing across from Sarah, the one person he’s never forgotten.
 
But second chances bring questions. The town watches closely, whispers reopen old wounds, and Sarah fears that letting her heart stir again might mean betraying the past. Daniel must show her his return isn’t just duty it’s the choice he should’ve made years ago. That love can grow even in the shadow of loss.
 
As lanterns rise over the town square and storms test more than the shop’s roof, Sarah and Daniel must decide if they’ll brave judgment and doubt to step into a future neither dared to imagine.
 
Can two hearts shaped by loss find the courage to believe in love again?

    When Hannah Briggs returns home for her father’s funeral, she isn’t prepared to unearth a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. Hidden within the pages of his worn Bible is a letter addressed to a woman named Eleanor, a name she’s never heard but somehow feels strangely connected to.
     
    As she digs deeper into her father’s past, Hannah turns to Joshua, her childhood friend and a quiet bookbinder with his own unspoken feelings. Together, they piece together a love story lost to silence, regret, and time—one that forces Hannah to confront the fragile lines between memory and truth, faith and forgiveness.
     
    But as long-buried emotions begin to rise and the bond between her and Joshua deepens, Hannah must decide if she's ready to open her heart—not only to her family's complicated legacy, but to a second chance she never saw coming.
     
    Can love bloom in the aftermath of grief and uncertainty? Or will the truth she uncovers leave her even more lost than before?
