Overview

RYAN
I’m finally, and officially, the owner of the Blooming Orchid, Estacada’s best flower shop. But my mom? Let’s say she’s not ready to hand over the reins yet, so my dream of transforming the Orchid into a garden center has to be put on hold.
Enter Jack Keller, the sexy-as-hell ex-bully who’s now a billionaire. He’s back in town and he wants me to relocate the Orchid, so he can build a medical facility to treat paralysis.
Should I help him? He’s hot, he’s funny and he genuinely wants to make a difference. Moving the shop never crossed my mind, but a more central location will benefit the business. The only problem is mom. She won’t like this, but then again, maybe it’s time I set my foot down and rebelled a little.

JACK
My sister and I found the perfect spot for the medical facility we want to build—an old brick building in our childhood town. I just need to buy out the three owners first.
Two agree. As for the last one… The cute florist isn’t the one whose name is on the deed. But he agrees to help me if I help him. As we put together a data-driven plan, sparks fly. Ryan is sweet, flirty and awesome, yet his parents hate me for more than my billionaire status. That’s fine. I’m a real charmer in person. I just wish I didn’t have to find out from them that my lovely florist has been hiding a secret from me.

Bloom and Burn is a small town MM romance, which follows a billionaire genius who wants to help his sister walk again, and the cute florist whose shop is in the way. It features an ex-bully with a golden heart, a sassy flower shop owner, feelgood vibes, low angst between the main characters, meddling/controlling parents, no third-act breakup and a HEA. It is Book 2 in the Billionaire Temptation series, and while characters from the other books make cameos, it can be read as a complete standalone.
