Marti is a confident, energetic, and talented florist who has been attracted to standoffish Ivan for the past couple of years. He’d pretty much given up on him until their paths cross again when has a meeting with the penny-pinching landlord of the flower shop where he works.

Competitive bodybuilder Ivan Detrikov has a landlord father who doesn't approve of his career choices, or much else in his life. Ivan is well aware of Marti’s interest and he finds the other man captivating, but feels he needs to focus his energy toward his career, and any chance at love is just a distraction.

Everything changes when Ivan encounters Marti at his father’s office. Marti’s “guns blazing” attitude and forceful arguments in favor of the shop where he works captivate Ivan and awaken the attraction that has simmered since their first meeting. But his father’s heartless pursuit of his goals puts Marti’s flower shop dreams in peril and endangers the relationship they are just starting to build.

Excerpt 1

 

“I’M GOING,” Marti told Susan after he’d changed out of something interesting and into the clothes for the meeting. “What?” he asked as she looked him over. “I knew the clothes were wrong. I should have worn the planet shirt.”

“Blue balls aren’t going to impress this guy. He’s already got them,” she retorted.

“Everyone’s a comedian,” he told her, looking down at himself. “Is it the shoes?”

Susan shook her head. “Honey, it’s the hair. You can tone down the clothes all you want, but the pink hair is a dead giveaway. Just be yourself, and maybe this money-grubbing tightwad won’t quite know what hit him.” She gave him a hug, and he hurried out the door and down the street toward the rental office three blocks away.

Marti didn’t know quite what to expect. Maybe a combination of grandeur meets Scrooge and Marley. His mind ran in a number of directions, but he wouldn’t have picked an office with seventies paneling, burnt-orange shag carpeting, and big-eyed prints on the walls where they’d probably hung since the paneling had been installed. Scrooge and Marley it was, then, disco-style.

“Can I help you?” a woman asked as she looked up from a desk that might have been in the same place since the carpet had been laid. She was about sixty, with glasses that hung around her neck on a beaded string. The tarnished nameplate on the desk read Doris.

“I called to make an appointment to talk about the rent on the building on Prospect that houses the Flower Basket,” he said as professionally as he could.

She looked him over, then leaned over the desk. Marti braced himself for a retort, but then she smiled. “I love the shoes, honey,” she whispered. “Nice touch. You’re going to need all the tiger you can muster.”

“Thanks,” he said, and she checked her computer.

“Have a seat. Mr. D is in there with his son and on the phone, but he’s talking to his wife, so he should be done soon.” She rolled her eyes, and Marti wondered if that was a good thing or not. “Don’t worry, they’ll probably soften him up for you.”

Marti took a seat on one of the molded-resin chairs in avocado green, folded his hands in his lap, and did his best not to fidget. Raised voices drifted in from behind the closed door—male voices, if he wasn’t mistaken. Doris continued her work at the computer, paying it no attention.
