Liana Bloom is what happens when you try to keep a good woman down. She rises, rebuilds, and blooms just like her name suggests.

After a devastating divorce turned her life upside down, Liana returned home to Bloomington, Tennessee, determined to rebuild her life on her own terms. Now running her family's bar, The Bloom, she's found comfort in routine, community, and keeping men, mess, and heartbreak far away from her peace.

Jaheim Harrison wasn't expecting one night at The Bloom to change his life. But the more time he spends with the guarded, sharp-tongued bar owner, the harder it becomes to deny she's becoming the center of his world. What starts as flirting turns into late nights, vulnerability, undeniable chemistry, and a connection neither of them is prepared to walk away from.

Starting over is one thing. Trusting someone with your heart after betrayal and disappointment is another.

The more Jaheim shows up, the harder it becomes for Liana to pretend she doesn't want him in every part of her life. She just has to decide if she's brave enough to let him stay.
