The Blooming of Delphinium
The Blooming of Delphinium
Book Two of the Moonberry Lake Series
As far as hidden talents go, Delphinium Hayes is blessed with one of the more unique ones.
With the slightest passing whiff, she knows someone’s most admirable or weediest characteristic. This peculiar perception never fails to give her an advantage in life—until she meets two men who turn her world upside down.
Mason McCormack has agreed to help her with a group of seniors who have taken over her flower shop as their hang-out. But his assistance is not without its price, and Delphinium agrees to compensate him with beautiful bouquets that seem to possess a bit of dating magic.
Elliot Sturgis, director of The Gardens Assisted Living Facility, is determined to discover why a group of his residents keep sneaking over to Delphinium’s shop to play poker in the walk-in refrigerator. He soon finds himself as enchanted as everyone else by Delphinium. But his devotion to following the rules and maintaining order does not endear him to the shop’s owner.
Sparks fly as opposites attract and love finds a match in Delphinium’s Flora Emporium—even for those who resist it the most.
