About this ebook
Welcome to the town of Kismet Bay where magic and fate are a way of life...
Percival Wright has led a charmed life. At least the residents of Kismet Bay believe that. It is a carefully crafted facade that hides the real truth. He's completely miserable and the one woman he has always wanted fails to really see him.
Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days of the year at Blooms of Destiny, and Amadea Strange can't wait to have it behind her. The romantic day is good for business, but she doesn't have time for love. So of course, that's the one day that fate decides to show her what all things Valentine means...

Thanks to Elizabeth for being my awesome proofreader. I appreciate all you do for me.
This book is for everyone who has someone special in their lives. If you love them, tell them. Don’t let a day go by without letting them know. You don’t know how much time you have with them.
Chapter 1
The sun streamed through the window of Blooms of Destiny and splashed across the glass of the refrigerator holding the flowers that had already been arranged. Amadea Stranger blew out an exhausted breath and brushed a stray lock of her dark hair behind her ear. She still had four more arrangements to prepare and a dozen more that had to be delivered. Valentine’s Day was one of the busiest of the year for the flower shop she owned with her cousin Ophelia.
She stared down at the order slip for the next arrangement. This one was going all out. Carefully, she added a mix of pink, purple, white, and bicolor roses with some lilies to break up the mixture into a clear vase. Amadea became engrossed in sorting the flowers and rearranging them until she created an amazing display of blooms. She sighed and finished the ensemble off with a strategically placed ribbon, then put a card in it. One more arrangement down, three more to go…
Oh,
her cousin Ophelia said as she came to stand next to Amadea. That’s so lovely. I envy your skill at arranging flowers.
It’s nothing,
she said with a shrug. I play with them until they—mesh.
Well, then,
Ophelia began. You’re doing a wondrous job either way. Don’t sell yourself short.
Amadea was the creative part of Blooms of Destiny and Ophelia had the business sense. She kept the books and ran the day to day operations. That suited Amadea just fine as she enjoyed arranging the flowers, and repotting plants. The work soothed her. Thank you,
she replied. Mostly because she didn’t know what else to say.
Do you have any plans for today?
No.
She shook her head as she stared down at the next order. I’ll probably have a quiet dinner at home.
Alone?
The tone in Ophelia’s voice bordered on disgust, but Amadea didn’t have a different answer for her. You’re a gorgeous, successful woman. Don’t hide away in your townhouse. Go out and have fun.
It’s not New Year’s Eve, Phee. It’s Valentine’s Day—you know a day for lovers, and unfortunately, I do not have one.
Though she really wished she could at least claim a speed date or something. She was all right with her life most days, but Valentine’s Day always stabbed her in the heart and made her feel extra lonely. It seemed as if every couple in existence crawled out of the woodwork and smacked her in the face with their love. Of course it probably didn’t help that she worked in a place that was Valentine Central. Men ordered flowers for their significant others and she got the joy of helping them show that love to them
