Late Bloomer：The next swoony rom-com from the author of A BRUSH WITH LOVE!

Mazey Eddings'' signature sparkling voice shines through in this sexy, sapphic, opposites-attract romance!

''A magnificent story about queer joy, queer love, and the power of queer community . . . this book is a must-read'' ALISON COCHRUN

Winning the lottery ruined Opal Devlin''s life. She may have been able to leave her dead-end job, but now she''s getting endlessly bombarded with people knocking at her door for a handout . . . and she can''t seem to stop saying yes.

Opal realises she has a chance to follow her own dreams, and decides to spend almost all her new money on a failing flower farm in North Carolina where she can start her painting business. But her plans for isolation soon go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Boden is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states that she''s the rightful owner of Thistle and Bloom Farms, and she isn''t moving out.

There''s not much else they can do except strike up an agreement of co-habitation, but they''re soon butting heads at every turn. While they each have a reason to stay, can these two opposites find a way to plant some roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?
