Beautiful Abyss — Karen Mueller Bryson

Chris Rhodes is a struggling actor on the verge of breaking into the business.
Abby Sullivan works at her aunt and uncle's nursery.
When Chris sees Abby watering plants in the front of the store it's love at first sight. Actually meeting Abby, however, proves to be much harder than Chris imagines. He spends nearly all of his money purchasing houseplants until he finally gets the opportunity to see Abby again.
Sparks fly between them, but Abby is extremely hesitant to accept a date with Chris. Abby has a secret she's desperate to keep, but Chris is just as eager to find out what it is.
