LOVE GROWS HERE

Contemporary Romance / Romantic Comedy

The Rooftop Series, Book 1  •  Dual Close Third Person POV  •  HEA

When a spirited urban farmer accidentally soaks her new grumpy penthouse neighbour with a garden hose, the battle over their shared rooftop might just grow into something neither of them can uproot.

Poppy Greene didn’t mean to build a farm on the roof of a Brooklyn apartment building. It started with one tomato plant after her catering business collapsed, and somehow—the way things always somehow happen with Poppy—it became a sprawling urban garden complete with heirloom tomatoes, a herb wall, fairy lights, and a small but loyal CSA box subscription. The rooftop is her livelihood, her therapy, and her one undeniable success in a string of spectacular, if charming, disasters. She’s not giving it up for anyone.

Declan Holt: architect, control enthusiast, and the infuriating new owner of the building’s penthouse suite—which came with a private rooftop terrace he fully intends to convert into a sleek entertainment space. He did not sign up for shared gardening hours, a hose-wielding woman who can’t seem to operate basic equipment without soaking him, or the inconvenient discovery that her laugh short-circuits every irritated thought in his head.

When management decrees the rooftop is big enough for both of them until a legal dispute over the original lease is resolved, Poppy and Declan are stuck—forced to share the space, share the sunset views, and despite their best efforts, share a lot more than either bargained for. The heart, it turns out, has no respect for property lines.
