🌹 A clean contemporary romance set in Paris where logic meets love, and secrets bloom.

Megan Mercer came to Giverny for the flowers, not for feelings.

A marketing executive sent to Paris to launch a new dating app, Megan is determined to stay focused, composed, and professional.

But when a spontaneous trip to Monet’s Gardens leads to a run-in with a charming stranger who feels oddly familiar, her carefully braided world starts to unravel.

Noah Sinclair lives for code, not chaos. Observant, grounded, and quietly brilliant, he’s used to building systems that hold under pressure. When work brings him face to face with the woman he met among Monet’s flowers, he’s unsettled by how familiar she feels.

As Paris wraps them in light, meaningful conversations, and long workdays, love and logic collide. Noah must decide when to tell Megan the truth about a connection that began long before Paris, and could change everything.

Braided Roses is a slow burn, clean and wholesome, closed-door contemporary workplace romance about emotional presence, professional ambition, and the quiet courage it takes to remain when retreat feels safer.

Perfect for readers who love character driven love stories with intelligent dialogue, restrained chemistry, and a literary sensibility, set against the luminous backdrop of Paris.
