Bellegarde - jamie lilac

Ooh la la! A historical rom-com with a modern twist -- perfect for fans of Bridgerton , A Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue , and Shes All That.

Evie Clement has perfected the art of avoiding attention as she works at her familys bakery and dreams of a life where she can trade dusting flour for designing dresses.

Her focus is on honing her sewing skills--she doesnt need to be fawned over by some teenage boy.

Least of all Beau Bellegarde--the playboy of Paris, the second son of the ultra-wealthy Bellegarde family, the most popular guy in their prestigious high school.

Others may swoon over his rakish charm and winning smile, but not Evie.

Unfortunately for Evie, Beau needs her.

His conniving step-brother has roped him into an impossible bet: turn the biggest wallflower they know into the winning Bellegarde Bloom at the annual Court of Flowers Ball, or lose his entire fortune.

Evie cant understand why Beau has taken an interest in her, but she cant help but be intrigued.

Can love bloom in the most unexpected of places? The Shes All That historical romance retelling of my dreams! When I wasnt savoring the lush, descriptive prose, I was eagerly devouring the smart, perfectly paced, heart-pounding romance.

Theres no doubt about it: Jamie Lilac makes a sparkling debut.
