The Daisy Chain Flower Shop by Laurie Gilmore

Available to pre-order now: the brand-new Dream Harbor summer romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café and The Strawberry Patch Pancake House—with all the cozy, Hallmark-y small-town charm readers love (Publisher’s Weekly calls Dream Harbor “a cozy spot to linger”).

Daisy is officially over being unlucky in love… and now her business is suffering too, thanks to Mayor Kelly declaring her beloved flower shop “cursed” in one of his infamous visions. Enter Elliot, Dream Harbor’s newest resident, fresh off his own relationship mess and determined to avoid any extra bad luck—especially the supposedly cursed Daisy Chain Flower Shop.

Of course, fate has other plans. When Elliot finally walks through Daisy’s door, he expects awkward small-town errands, not a life-changing connection. But as the petals bloom and the town’s gossip mill spins, Daisy starts to wonder if the unluckiest woman in Dream Harbor might finally learn the truth: love tends to show up when you least expect it.

What to expect: a cozy romantic mystery vibe, a fake relationship dynamic, found family feels, returning favorite characters, and a guaranteed HEA. (Dream Harbor books can be read as standalones.)
