She runs on flowers and feeling. He runs on spreadsheets and sarcasm. They have been at war for two years. It is, honestly, the best part of both their weeks.
Ruby Flynn built Petal & Vine out of love - a flower shop so warm and generous and beautiful that people wander in sad and wander out less sad. She gives flowers to grieving families, lonely widowers, the school, anyone who needs beauty more than she needs the money. It is, by Sam Bennett's accounting, a very pretty charity with a cash-flow problem.
Sam Bennett is the most useful person in Juniper Bay. He keeps everyone's lights on - the inn, the shop accounts, the whole impractical economy of a town that runs on warmth and charm rather than sense. He is precise, sardonic, controlled, and deeply, quietly convinced that a family full of warmth has no real use for the arithmetic one. He has been wrong about many things. This is the biggest.
For two years, Ruby and Sam have fought at every town meeting, every business review, every encounter on Harbor Street - and Ruby has almost managed to convince herself that the reason she thinks about him constantly is pure irritation. Almost.
Because the trouble with Sam Bennett is not that he's cold. The trouble is that Ruby is almost certain he isn't.
A warm, funny, deeply felt enemies-to-lovers romance about the man who knows the price of everything learning the value of one impossible florist, and the woman who finally makes him believe he is loved for himself and not just his spreadsheets. The Trouble with Sam Bennett is the fifth book in the Juniper Bay series, but can be read on its own.
Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Jill Shalvis, and anyone who loves a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance with genuine heart and a hero worth fighting for.
She threw the accounting at him. He threw it right back. Neither of them noticed they were falling.
