Maggie Henry loves flowers. She’s skilled at tending to their delicate foliage and blooms. It’s not so different from how she cares for her younger siblings—siblings who need her now more than ever. Maggie will come through for them, as she always does, even if it means wilting in the process. She just needs to focus. But that’s impossible when the world’s most frustrating man moves in next door, just begging to become the release valve for her mounting pressure.

Warren Mitchell is a loose cannon, back in Holly River to make amends with the little brother he abandoned, and to forget what happened during his final shift as a firefighter. Running the local cafe is Warren’s one shot at proving he’s not the ticking time bomb everyone believes he is. But it’s hard to show he’s changed when he can’t escape Maggie—an infuriating woman who challenges him at every turn.

When Maggie and Warren are forced to work together to revive the community garden, and save their businesses, the town holds its breath. Because the only thing more volatile than the wildfires raging outside Holly River is Warren Mitchell. But Maggie’s always liked playing with fire.
