Orchids For Roses. Book One (en Inglés) - Jacqueline Hopper

With the help of her grandmother and Kyle Mason, a friend since high school, Deborah Parker has made Orchids Only Boutique a success. If only she could say the same about her love life.

Victor Thurston is the man who holds her heart, but she doubts he'll see her as anything but his best-girl friend.

Despite the mountain of responsibilities on his shoulders, Victor suddenly notices Deborah has blossomed into a beauty. And if he wasn't worried about the boys at Angel House Youth Shelter where he works, he'd be on her doorstep every day, getting reacquainted.

When a fire rips through Angel House, leaving it in ashes, Victor is given the opportunity to do exactly that.

As their relationship turns to romance, a series of unexpected events shreds their promising future together.

But it isn't until after Deborah is accosted by a stranger and her employee disappears with the company van that she begins to wonder if someone is trying to end her relationship with Victor-permanently.
