Synopsis

The Bookish Box Exclusive Luxe Edition of He Loves Me Not by C.M. Nascosta Sumi is on top of the world. Applying for franchise ownership with a giant flower conglomerate seems like a piece of cake - they provide the equipment, the distribution contracts, and all she needs to do is front the money and love happily ever after. There's only one catch . . . she didn't realize chasing after her dream might cause someone else to lose hold of their own. Ranar never wanted to inherit the family business. There's an enormous pressure to keep things afloat - started by his grandfather, passed to his father, and now to him. When Bloomerang, an online flower conglomerate, opens one of their soulless flower factories in Cambric Creek, Ranar knows it's only a matter of time before he's forced to close the door on his family's business for good. It doesn't matter how pretty the sylvan owner is or how friendly she seems - she's bound to put him out of business eventually . . . but he can make her regret it first. Sumi is positive there is room for two flower shops in Cambric Creek, if only the owner of The Perfect Petal wasn't such a rude, condescending, infuriatingly handsome jerk. When she joins an online server for local business owners, discovering The Perfect Petal's owner is chatting there as well, she decides it's the perfect opportunity to discover his weaknesses and take him down . . . if she doesn't wind up falling for him first.
