Easter in Bloom

For Penelope "Penny" Hart, Easter is just another holiday - an excuse for pastel decorations, overpriced chocolates, and forced cheer. As the grumpiest florist in town, she'd rather be left alone with her roses and resentment than deal with the festivities. But when the annoyingly optimistic Theo Montgomery, the town's new chocolatier, sets up shop across the road, her carefully cultivated solitude is threatened.

With his golden retriever energy and relentless charm, Theo is determined to make Penny smile-and maybe even convince her that Easter isn't so bad. He ropes her into a community egg hunt, enlists her help for a spring festival, and somehow manages to sneak his way past her prickly defences.

As the season unfolds with blooming flowers, stolen glances, and late-night confessions, Penny begins to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Theo is the sweetest thing about Easter after all. But when an unexpected secret threatens to send her retreating into her shell, Theo will have to prove that love - like spring - has a way of breaking through even the coldest of hearts.

A grumpy-sunshine romance full of longing and chocolate-covered kisses, Easter in Bloom is a heartwarming tale of the magic of love in full bloom.
