I was ready to bloom in the Big Apple—until small-town love got in the way.

I was this close to making my dreams come true. Hightailing it out of small-town Florida for the Big Apple, I went to art school and was in the running for the perfect job when the aunt who raised me died. Good news: She left me everything she had. Bad news: That includes her flower shop, which I have to run successfully for a year before I’m allowed to sell it.

So now, I’m back where I don’t want to be, trying to fix up a business that seems to be better at providing shelter for raccoons and cockroaches than making money. And that’s when he shows up…

Kade Maverick. The guy who bullied me in high school. Owner of the sparkling green eyes I’ve never been able to ignore.

He’s changed somehow. It’s not just that he’s got a scar on his face from a motorcycle accident. He’s… vulnerable? He has a four-year-old niece he’s caring for, and he’s willing to do anything to help me fix up the store.

As business starts to boom, we’re getting close. Too close. Everything feels perfect.

But I’m going back to NYC when my year is up, and he’s just not a part of those plans. Right?

Bloomed to Be Messy is a delightful standalone book in the Messy Love on Mango Lane sweet romantic comedy series. If you like heroines in over their heads, broody scarred men and discovering you can go home again, then you’ll adore Dineen Miller’s happily-ever-after hijinks.

About the Author

Dineen Miller is an award-winning and Amazon bestselling author who writes closed-door romantic comedies filled with swoony moments, snappy banter, and just enough awkward flirting to feel real. When she’s not writing happily ever afters, she’s hoarding yarn like a dragon, crocheting her way through a Netflix binge, or laughing at her husband’s punniest jokes (even when she pretends to roll her eyes). Life at home includes two quirky dogs, a yarn collection with its own zip code, and a husband who thinks he's hilarious (and he kind of is). Want a free novella?
