Blooms on the Bones — Yvonne Kohano

Destiny-bound by totems and love.

Tess Willowspring, owner of Buds and Blooms, knows that leading the Flynn's Crossing building committee isn't such a high honor. The role leaves her less time to create gorgeous floral arrangements, tend her garden, and enjoy her friends. Life gets complicated when construction to develop a vacant lot meets with disturbing resistance from long-dead spirits - and only Tess can hear them.

When Powers Ashland wins the honor of developing that mysterious Main Street property, he's not sure what threatens him more, the strange discovery on the site bringing work to a halt, or his unwilling attraction to Tess. Powers doesn't feel he's relationship material. He's better off expanding his construction company and rebuilding a bond with his brother.

Advice from the girl tribe and wolf pack aside, neither Tess nor Powers can keep their feelings from growing faster than the roses in her garden. And digging in deep where emotions are concerned scares both of them - to death. Do the totems they've chosen mean they're predestined for each other?
