About this listen
When her life plans are uprooted, can a soldier's love help her heart bloom again?
Camillia Rodes never imagined she’d lose her flower shop just weeks before Valentine’s Day.
Desperate to rebuild her business, she finds a new location in the quaint town of Hickory Falls.
But as she works to revive her dream, she encounters Allen Calhoun—
a rugged, ex-military contractor who’s not just interested in renovating her shop, but in healing her heart.
With a past that has made her dread Valentine’s Day, Cammie is determined to focus on work.
But Allen has other ideas. Through thoughtful gestures and hidden messages,
he shows her that love can be found in the smallest details— even in a holiday she’s come to despise.
Deanna Lilly delivers heartwarming HEA stories that pull you in and make you feel like one of the family. If you like all the feels with only sweet kisses, this story is for you. Fans of Hallmark and Lifetime movies enjoy Deanna Lilly's books.
Book Note: A Heart in Bloom is a standalone novella in the Valentine's Sweethearts multi-author series, with connections to both the Mountain Men of Whispering Pines and Hickory Falls series. To explore Allen's military family further, dive into The Grumpy Mountain Man for his commanding officer Eric’s love story (set three years before Allen’s) or The Lonely Lumberjack to discover his buddy Zach’s parallel timeline romance.
