Until the Roses Remember. The Chapters of Us, #1

Until the Roses RememberWhen grieving horticulturist Briar Hollis  is hired to save a forgotten rose garden, she has no idea the estate's reclusive heir is about to walk back into a life he swore he'd left behind. Sorren Ashcombe returns home only to sell - until he finds a stranger has spent a year quietly resurrecting his late mother's greatest, unfinished love. Their slow burn  begins in stolen mornings among thorn and bloom, but the deeper Briar digs into the garden's secrets, the more she uncovers about the mother Sorren never got to reconcile with - and the more she risks the one thing she's spent her whole life protecting: a place to finally belong.
As old wounds resurface and a hidden inheritance threatens everything they're rebuilding , Briar and Sorren must decide whether love, like a garden, is worth tending through every storm. A tender, emotionally rich small-town romance  about second chances, inherited grief, and the quiet courage it takes to stay. For readers who love soft romance, second-chance love stories, forced proximity, and slow-burn healing that lingers long after the final page. Recommended for mature readers.
