When Eloise Hartwell climbs into the attic of her small-town bookshop in search of Valentine's decorations, she expects dust, cobwebs-and maybe a little nostalgia. What she doesn't expect is a long-forgotten florist's box filled with roses that should not exist... and refuse to stay where she puts them.
As Cedar Hollow prepares for its Valentine celebration, the mysterious roses begin appearing and disappearing, drawing Eloise-and visiting author Nora Pembroke-into a quiet puzzle rooted deep in the town's past. With the reluctant help of Sheriff Caleb Rowan, they uncover fragments of a century-old love story: a young woman, a forbidden romance, and a truth carefully erased from local history.
But some secrets don't want to remain buried.
As the past presses closer and the present grows unexpectedly tender, Eloise must decide whether she's only meant to uncover the mystery-or whether Cedar Hollow is asking her to stay.
The Undelivered Roses is a cozy small-town mystery filled with gentle romance, bookshop charm, and the lingering question of what happens to love that never gets its chance.
Perfect for readers who enjoy: • Cozy mysteries with heart • Small-town secrets • Bookshop settings • Clean, slow-burn romance • Stories that linger long after the final page
