Synopsis

She stole his roses.Fleeing the spotlight, burnt out rock star Layla—“Belle”—Dubois seeks refuge in the south of France. That old, half-forgotten heritage in a valley of roses seems like a good place to soothe a wounded heart. She certainly doesn’t expect the most dangerous threat to her heart to pounce on her as soon as she sets foot on the land.He wants them back.Matt didn’t mean to growl at her quite that loudly. But—his roses! She can’t have his roses. Even if she does have all those curls and green eyes and, and, and…what was he growling about again?Or maybe he just wants her.When an enemy invades his valley and threatens his home, heart, and livelihood, Matthieu Rosier really knows only one way to defend himself.It might involve kissing.Praise for Laura Florand’s novels“A poignant, lovely, moving, authentic story.” – Virginia Kantra, NYT bestselling author“Sweet, sexy, and all around delicious.

Overflowing with wise humor, family dynamics, and vivid descriptions, this story is as sexy and flirtatious as it is poignant and caring. Roses, music, and Provence-it doesn't get much better than that... - Library Journal STARRED REVIEW A sexy, sexy romance and a really fun book to read...I highly recommend it. - USAToday.com Recommended Read Florand's prose can move me to tears, affect me with emotion of the acutest kind, and render me hopelessly in love...it can make me grin like a lovesick fool, giggle like a young schoolgirl, and squeal at the absolute adorable-ness on the page...I am still unable to adequately express just how deeply I feel for this novel; it's soft, sweet, and oh-so-very hug-able. - Ivy Book Bindings You know that question where you have to name what books you would take with you if you were stuck on an island?
