He’s her nightmare and fantasy colliding into one.

Maxwell Blackburn is the epitome of everything Grace Holloway has avoided her whole life: gorgeous, seductive, and extremely disastrous to her state of mind. The dangerous millionaire is determined to buy out her flower shop and build a shopping center on top of it, but Grace will never sell. Petals and Peonies is more than just a store to her—it's her whole livelihood. And she will do whatever it takes to keep it.

Max is on the brink of closing one of the biggest multimillion dollar deal in the country, and he isn't about to let a feisty, provoking, smart-mouth florist get in his way. Out of time and patience, he’s planning to use all of his power to ruin her and claim the flower shop for himself… until a sudden and unexpected kiss between them wrecks all of his plans.

To care for her is impossible, but as their animosity turns into a white-hot and all-consuming affair, can Max let go of his ruthless ambitions for love? Or will he let it destroy the best thing that’s ever happened to him?
