Love's Bloom: A Lilac Lake Book (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781965622322)

Love can make even the most fragile person bloom.

Misty Owen escapes Florida and comes home to Lilac Lake following a disastrous relationship with an emotionally and physically abusive man. David Graham runs a landscaping business with his father and has created a memorial park in town for his sister, who died of cancer. Kind and gentle, he is the sort of man Misty can't help being attracted to. But until she heals from her past, how can she move forward? She knows it's going to take someone like David to help her, but he's content to be just friends. When gifts of flowers start to arrive, with more than friendship, Misty discovers that sometimes love blooms in the sweetest ways possible.

A spinoff book from the Lilac Lake Inn series, a sweet second-chance, small-town romance. Another of Judith Keim's books about strong women facing challenges and finding love and happiness along the way.
