Floral artist extraordinaire Camellia Harris considers herself an expert in everything flowers, from baby showers to funeral arrangements and aconites to zinnias.

Eric Grady was the best dang high school quarterback Westfield, Texas had ever seen. He followed that with a record-setting college career and a first round pick in the NFL draft, but a devastating injury and subsequent addiction to prescription pain meds cut his pro career short.

When a night of wine and reminiscing follows, Camellia is determined to dismiss it as nothing more than a one-night stand, but Eric has other ideas and sets out to achieve his greatest comeback yet-courting the fun and quirky florist.
