SPECIAL EDITION
He’s all flair and fire. He’s roots and quiet strength. This summer at the Charm, desire takes root—and love refuses to be trimmed.
Malcolm Bissette rebuilt his life in the warm, bustling kitchens of the Southern Charm. Flirtatious, fearless, and forever changing his hair color, the flashy sous chef hides a soft spot he’s nursed since sixteen—the quiet landscaper who once made him believe in more.
Reece Simpson prefers plants to people and work to words. But when he finally gets the green light to tame the overgrown grounds, the stoic gardener can’t ignore the vibrant chef who’s always caught his eye.
Old crushes collide with new desire as summer heats up, turning glances into stolen kisses and late-night confessions. To turn lust into lasting love, Malcolm must trust that he’s more than a beautiful distraction—and Reece must risk his guarded heart.
Can a showy chef and a steady landscaper cultivate something real and rooted…or will fear prune their chance before it blooms?
