Blossoming Love by Amelia Star

Serena:
It’s been a few years since I left my ex, for good reasons.
I love my independence, but I still miss having someone.
Thankfully, helping the children at the Rosewood Community Center satisfies that part of my life.
When my dog darts off into the woods on our walk, I don’t expect to run into a strong, attractive man.
Mark is older, experienced, and makes my heart–and body–blossom with desire.
But will he try to change me or can he accept me for who I am?

Mark:
Even though I’m a mature man, my mother still thinks I need a woman.
She doesn’t understand that I’m not actively looking for romance because I’m happiest by myself in nature.
But when nature–and fate–throw a beautiful woman in my path, suddenly everything changes.
Serena is independent, full of energy, and as pretty as a redbud in blossom.
I want to be with her, but can I convince her that I love her exactly the way she is?
