Flirting by means of flower bouquets doesn't guarantee success, and Brendan learns that the hard way.

Heartbroken after a bitter divorce, Brendan finds solace in running his beloved flower shop. His vow to think twice before jumping into a new relationship becomes hard to keep when he meets Hugh, a flamboyant hairstylist with skilful hands and a cheeky smile.

Hugh has finally succeeded in opening his own salon, but the glow of his success is overshadowed by not having anyone to celebrate it with. When brawny, six-foot-three Brendan appears on his doorstep with a bouquet of exquisite flowers, Hugh is tempted to break his no-dating-clients rule. Their Friendship blooms fast, and Hugh resigns himself to another straight-boy crush.

One kiss changes everything though. Hugh's world is set on fire, and even if Brendan gets cold feet, Hugh isn't about to let go of what could be love.
