Childhood friends.

Tristan Rosier might have asked Malorie Monsard to marry him when he was five years old, but things had only gone downhill from there. She'd spent the rest of their lives ignoring him, abandoning him, and destroying his perfumes. Now she was back, to wreak who knew what havoc on his life.

Lifelong enemies.

Tristan might choose to dismiss the generations-long enmity between their two families, but Malorie didn't have that privilege. Like all the other privileges wealthy, gorgeous Tristan took for granted that she couldn't. But if she was going to restore her family company to glory, she might just need his help.

Or the perfect match?

They'd known each other all their lives. Could these childhood friends and lifelong enemies ever uncross their stars and find happily ever after?

Laura Florand, bestselling author of The Chocolate Kiss, combines lush description, smart dialogue, provocative sensuality, and the perfume of love itself in A Crown of Bitter Orange, an irresistibly lush novel that is an ode to the scents and pleasures of the south of France and the beauty of falling in love.

      When her grandmother leaves the once elite but now shuttered family perfume business to her and her two far-flung sisters, accountant Malorie Monsard goes on sabbatical from her high-powered New York position and returns to Grasse to deal with the properties and consider her options. Selling would be practical, but family tradition and memories soon exert their power, and Malorie has no choice but to reopen La Maison de Monsard. Of course, staying in the area means interacting with ultimate charmer and master perfumer Tristan Rosier, a man who proposed to her when they were five and whom she has been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to resist ever since. Two childhood friends finally put their substantial past differences (as well as their families' generations-old issues) behind them in a lush, beautifully written story. VERDICT The descriptions are so exquisite that readers will be able to smell the orange blossoms drifting from the trees and will be packing their bags for the South of France. Note: A surprise appearance at the end ensures that the series will continue. Florand (Chase Me) lives in North Carolina.
