Late Bloomer

[From the Back Cover]

Winning the lottery has ruined Opal Devlin's life. After quitting her dead-end job where she'd earned minimum wage and even less respect, she's bombarded by people knocking at her door for a handout the second they find out her bank account is overflowing with cash. And Opal can't seem to stop saying yes.

With her tender heart thoroughly abused, Opal decides to protect herself by any means necessary, which, to her, translates to putting almost all her new money into buying a failing flower farm in Asheville, North Carolina, to let the flowers live out their plant destiny while she uses the cabin on the property to launch her artistic career.

But her plans for isolation and self-preservation go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Boden is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states she's the rightful owner of the Thistle and Bloom farm and isn't moving out. The unlikely pair strike up an agreement of cohabitation and butt heads at every turn. Can these opposites both live out their dreams and plant roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?
