Night Blooms — Dana Mentink

After San Francisco spa owner Corrine endures a spectacularly bad day (involving a painfully public breakup and the destruction of fifteen jars of grocery store pickles), she is assigned to do community service in a national park in the middle of a sweltering desert. Park Ranger Tom Tohono is the only person standing between Corrine and surprises ranging from curious desert foxes to temperatures hotter than lava. He's strangely protective of his delicate desert plants and she is battling lingering trauma from a childhood loss. In the magic of a moonlit cactus garden, they'll find that the desert holds surprises for both of them.
