From award-winning author Mollie Mathews comes a deeply emotional tale of love, heartbreak, and the courage to bloom after loss.

She hated Valentine’s Day—until she married the one man who could make her believe in forever.

A heartfelt marriage-of-convenience, friends-to-lovers romance with all the feels—set against the breathtaking beauty of Big Sky, Montana and the timeless romance of Venice.

Sophie Fairchild, a fiercely independent florist, has one rule—never fall for flowers, love, or Valentine’s Day. But when her beloved shop faces foreclosure, she strikes an unexpected deal with her best friend, billionaire Alexander Cade. A quick, convenient marriage to solve both their problems—business only, no strings attached.

But some lines aren’t meant to stay blurred.

Alexander Cade is a man who’s built empires, but he’s about to lose everything—except her. What started as a strategic alliance soon becomes a passion he never saw coming. And when Sophie becomes the center of a ruthless power play, Alexander will risk everything—not just his empire, but his heart.

As danger closes in and betrayal shatters their fragile trust, can Alexander convince Sophie that their love is more than a business deal? Or will the lies that brought them together tear them apart forever?
