She came to California to bloom. But in the concrete garden of the elite, only the ruthless survive.

Lily Whistler traded her family's Kansas farm for a dream: an all-white flower shop in the prestigious Palms Couture shopping center. With her inheritance burning through her fingers and her idealism intact, she believes that beauty, hard work, and small-town values will be enough to make it in Cielo del Mar.

She’s wrong.

Kerry Barrett Kirby rules the Palms like a queen, and she's already buried four flower shops in the space Lily now calls home. Beautiful, vicious, and untouchable, Kerry sees the earnest farm girl as just another victim waiting to be crushed. Anonymous complaints. Midnight break-ins. Sabotage disguised as environmental concerns. Kerry has an arsenal of weapons, and she's not afraid to use them.

But Lily isn't as defenseless as she looks.

With Allison, a sharp-tongued rich girl with daddy issues and a genius for business, Lily begins to fight back.

There's Antonia, the wise baker who's seen Kerry’s reign of terror before. Len, the charming Australian chef whose food cart hides darker secrets. And Matt Vitale, the brooding restaurateur whose blue eyes hold promises of salvation ... or destruction.

As the war escalates from petty complaints to public humiliation, Lily discovers that survival in paradise requires more than just pretty flowers. It demands cunning, courage, and the willingness to get her hands dirty. Because in a world where money talks and power corrupts, sometimes the only way to stay pure is to embrace the beautiful darkness within.

But every move comes with a price. Every alliance has a cost. And in the concrete jungle of high-end retail, the line between blooming and bleeding is thinner than a rose petal.

Some gardens are grown with love. Others are watered with blood.

And sometimes the most dangerous predators are the ones who smile while they destroy you.

A lush, addictive novel about ambition, betrayal, and the cost of dreams in a world where beauty is currency and kindness is weakness.

Sean Platt has always been an entrepreneur but knew he'd rather tell stories. When his wife bought him a laptop for his birthday in 2007, he dropped everything to start writing fiction.

Since making the leap, Sean has written hundreds of novels (including the international best-sellers Yesterday's Gone and Invasion), penned dozens of scripts, and founded the IP Incubator Sterling & Stone, where more than thirty storytellers work together to create world-changing IP. Sterling & Stone's stable of writers come to Sean for ideas, mentorship, and “better words.”

Originally from Long Beach, California, Sean now lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and dog, Fisher.

Author. Disruptor. Unicorn Rider

I'm the author of Fat Vampire (which became SyFy's Reginald the Vampire), plus 100+ books across most genres. My books are layered, intelligent, and often funny. I love what I do, never cut corners, and would rather earn 10 true fans than sell 10,000 copies.
