About this audiobook
Charlotte came home to restore her grandmother's garden. A stranger with a hammer was blocking the door.
"You're not stepping foot in that garden without a signature."
Charlotte Bell drove six hours back to the house she swore she'd left behind.
No coffee. No sleep. And no warning that Leo Devereaux would be standing on the porch, sawdust on his jeans, refusing to let her in without a liability waiver.
Her grandmother Gladys hired him to stabilize the old place before the wisteria pulled it off its foundation.
Eighteen months untended. A porch column three inches off plumb.
And underneath the purple-green avalanche, the heritage garden Gladys won first place with seven times, the garden she begged Charlotte to bring back.
Charlotte is a restoration horticulturist. She knows clockwise from counterclockwise, Chinese wisteria from Japanese.
What she doesn't know is why Gladys changed the locks and never sent the working keys.
Or why every closed door in this town seems to hide a secret with her family's name on it.
A promissory note. A deed that isn't theirs. A sister war and a town-hall showdown.
Leo is infuriating, immovable, and exactly the wrong man to fall for.
But the longer they fight over the garden, the harder it gets to remember why she's supposed to leave.
He argues with her about roots and foundations and gets under her skin.
He also stays when no one asks him to.
Then one line turns blue, and everything she planned to walk away from becomes everything she could lose.
The lawsuit lands. The blooms refuse to come. The judging looms.
And the second chance neither of them asked for keeps putting down roots, faster than the wisteria.
To keep the garden, the family, and the future taking shape inside her, Charlotte will have to stop running.
She will have to decide whether home is a place you flee or a place you finally plant yourself.
When the Wisteria Blooms is a warm, swoony small-town romance about a second chance, an accidental pregnancy, grumpy-sunshine sparks, a contested family inheritance, and the home you almost lose before you learn to stay.
Perfect for readers who love grumpy-sunshine romance, small-town Southern settings, surprise-baby tropes, forced proximity, and slow-burn second chances. A standalone romance with a heartfelt happy ending.
