Blooming Alone

Laura Sinclair

Description：
For her entire life, Sunny Wells has been in Julian's hands.

He named her. He chose her major. He got her a job. He decided what she ate, what she wore, who she spent time with — and called it love.

When he found someone who challenged him intellectually and left Sunny behind, she had no idea how to exist without him. She had never learned.

Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.

*Blooming Alone* is the story of what Sunny builds next — through failed assignments, late nights, a competition she enters expecting to lose, and a prestigious career she earns entirely on her own.

By the time Julian comes back to say he made a mistake, Sunny has found something far more valuable than his apology.

She has found herself.

She's running from London's marriage mart. He's running out of time to save his estate. Neither intends to fall in love--but their hearts have other plans.

American heiress Calliope Hart is thrust into London's high society against her will, all because her mother is determined to marry her off to an aristocrat. Despite being named "the debutante of the season" back in New York, Calliope wants nothing more than to avoid becoming another pawn in the social game.

Edward Chase, the Earl of Hayward, is on the brink of financial ruin. To save his estate, he must marry, and Calliope Hart is his last hope. When he boldly declares his intentions, she swiftly rejects him, making it clear she has no interest in marrying for convenience. Undeterred, Edward offers a deal: He will escort Calliope to all the best sights of London that she's been dying to see if she agrees to visit his estate and consider what they could accomplish together.

What begins as a business arrangement soon sparks something much more complicated--an undeniable chemistry neither can ignore.
