  Tori doesn't have time for love, not when she has to be at the flower market
  at four every morning. Her shop, Tori’s Blooms, is just scraping by, so being
  hired to style the flowers for the society wedding of the year could put her

  beautiful florist whose baby blues have his protective alpha side roaring to
  possess her.
  
  
  Tori is the woman for Gabriel, today, tomorrow and forever, and he’ll be
  taking her pretty flower before anyone can say “I do.”
