Anything But Flowers

For Brooklyn florist Caroline Kendall, flowers represent business rather than pleasure. That is, until a handsome customer piques her interest, causing her to speculate about his relationship to the recipient of the bouquets he sends on a regular basis.Kahlil Omar Mahlik Al-Shammari is wealthy enough to buy anything a woman might want, but his family's reputation isn't the finest. Although smitten with Caroline, his inherent shyness and a history with women who are only interested in his money make him reluctant to take the first step.When an unlikely accident brings them together, the sexual chemistry is undeniable. But is their mutual attraction enough to overcome the pitfalls of romance between a small-business owner and a super-rich oil tycoon?
