Do not trust the handsome tailor. Do not plant the stolen seeds. And whatever you do, do not fall for the man with secrets as ancient as the gods.

I'm a botanist on the run. My secret isn't just that I stole world-altering seeds from my dangerous ex-it's that they're starting to grow. The charming town of St. Helena was meant to be my sanctuary, a place to hide and study my discovery in peace.

Then I meet Elias. The town's grumpy tailor is as magnetic as he is mysterious. He watches me with stormy eyes that hold the weight of centuries, and he promises protection. But I soon learn that some secrets are buried for a reason.

When my past finds me, it's not just an academic rival at my door-it's a malevolent god who wants what I've grown. To protect me, Elias is forced to reveal his own truth: he's Zeus, the fallen king of Olympus, and my garden is now the battleground for a celestial war.

I was never meant to be a player in a divine game. But what if the power they're all fighting over isn't just in the seeds? What if it's in me?

The Immortal Bloom is an immortal-hero, mortal-heroine fantasy romance for readers craving secret identities, cottage-lab chemistry, and a slow burn that hits like a storm.†
