About this book
When a jaded CEO meets a brilliant but anxious tech genius with all the quirks he never knew he needed, their chemistry ignites in the most unexpected way. Zander Teager has spent his life resenting the name "Rose" because of his mother's betrayal, but nerdy, endearing Rosemary Marlin with her flannel shirts, red glasses, and photographic memory completely rewrites what beauty means to him. After a impulsive declaration at a company party turns their connection real, Zander discovers the deep wounds Rosemary has been carrying alone—and finds himself desperate to prove he won't abandon her like everyone else has. This is a tender story about two broken people learning that healing happens when someone finally chooses to stay.

“Create a playlist called Beautiful Rose. Indie pop and soft R&B with undercurrent of tension—think indie darlings meeting sultry soul. Sweet yet smoldering: longing glances wrapped in witty banter, vulnerability blooming beneath sarcasm. Acoustic guitars, warm vocals, occasional electronic pulses. Yearning but hopeful.”
