One fresh start. One unexpected encounter. Can love bridge the gap?
When Rosie leaves behind her ordinary life in England to open a flower shop on Amsterdam’s water, she expects nothing less than a fairytale.
Max, her handsome but brooding new neighbour, prefers to keep the world at arm’s length – and living on the houseboat next door, he’s not too thrilled about the new company.
As Rosie’s business blossoms, so do her feelings for Max. But Rosie isn't sure she's ready for a relationship, and Max is still nursing a broken heart.
Then a rival in the flower market threatens her dreams, Rosie discovers that the most beautiful things can bloom when you learn to go with the flow – and allow someone to stand by your side.
Will Rosie and Max allow themselves to be swept away by love, or is their relationship doomed to sink before it can swim?
A fun, feel-good romance that will whisk you away to Amsterdam's picturesque canals. Perfect for fans of Julie Caplin, Rebecca Raisin, and Cressida McLaughlin.
