The Trouble with Tulips
Book 1 of the Hometown Holiday Heartstrings series
144 pages · First published 2020
A heroine whose life has become tangled in expectations discovers that something as ordinary as tulips can become the catalyst for an unexpectedly complicated romance. Small-town or community connections keep bringing her together with a man who disrupts both her assumptions and her plans. What begins as irritation or inconvenience gradually reveals deeper vulnerabilities on both sides. Emily Dana Botrous uses light contemporary romance, humor, and floral charm for a clean story about how trouble sometimes grows in the same place as affection.
