He Loves Me Not

About this book

Sumi is ready for a fresh start. Armed with a surprise inheritance, she moves to the charming town of Cambric Creek to open a flower shop, eager to pursue her dream. However, her excitement is quickly dampened by the reality of local competition. By partnering with a large flower conglomerate, she inadvertently threatens the livelihood of Ranar, the cynical owner of the long-standing, family-run shop, *The Perfect Petal*. Ranar views Sumi’s modern business model as an existential threat to his heritage and his future. To him, she is nothing more than an infuriating intruder representing everything wrong with the industry. For her part, Sumi finds Ranar to be an insufferable, albeit undeniably handsome, jerk. The tension reaches a boiling point when the two rivals clash on a local business server, sparking an online war of words. Utilizing the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, this story follows the pair as they trade barbs and maneuver for dominance in the local market. As their professional rivalry intensifies, the line between hatred and attraction begins to blur. Sumi and Ranar must navigate their opposing worlds, discovering that there might just be enough room in Cambric Creek for both their businesses—and perhaps, for each other.
