Natalia Ferguson hides behind her flowers and floral patterns, tending a shop she inherited and a quiet life she didn’t choose. Jake Bennett juggles freelance work with caring for his spirited sister Lily, whose health demands more than he ever expected. Neither is looking for love.

But when fate tosses them into the same New Year’s Eve gala, something sparks. A red dress. A missed connection. And a sister who won’t let it go.

Set in New York and filled with gentle humor, subtle longing, and realistic struggles, Frost 2 Bloom is a story about finding courage in new beginnings—even if the timing isn’t perfect.
