A slow-burn, 10,000-word steamy Black romance short novel featuring an emotionally safe hero, a soft-hearted woman learning to trust again, and a rooftop garden that heals what love once broke.
Zariah has always been soft.
But softness never protected her. It only got her betrayed—by a man she loved, by the version of herself that kept making space for people who didn’t know how to hold her. She’s not looking for love anymore. Only quiet. Peace. Something to tend that doesn’t ask her to shrink.
Enter Elias —tattooed, reformed, and fresh out of a faith-based rehab program. He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t push. He just shows up. Steady. Patient. Bare hands in the soil. And for the first time in years, Zariah doesn’t feel like she has to explain her softness.
She just has to surrender to what could bloom.
Set at a rooftop healing studio in the heart of Atlanta, What Could Bloom Here is a tender, steamy, and spiritually rich romance that explores what happens when two broken people stop running from softness—and start choosing it, again and again.
