About this book

Emma's days are filled with blooms and laughter alongside her three best friends at their wedding business, but her romantic life feels stuck in neutral—until Jack, the architect who's been hovering at the edges of their group for years, suddenly stops being invisible. What starts as a spark of recognition between two people who've always known each other becomes an undeniable flame that neither can ignore. As they navigate the delicious tension of crossing from friendship into something deeper, they discover that sometimes the person you've been waiting for has been standing beside you all along. It's a lush, heartwarming journey about taking a chance on the one who already knows your heart.

Indie pop and soft R&B for slow-burn romance—think warm acoustic guitars, vulnerable vocals, and building tension. Dreamy yet grounded, with moments of confidence blooming into passion. Perfect for that electric feeling when friendship transforms into undeniable desire.
