For years, Megan Mercer has been falling for a man she's never met.

As a marketing executive sent to Paris to launch a new dating app, Megan prides herself on keeping life carefully under control. Her most meaningful connection exists safely at a distance through late-night messages with someone she knows only through words.

Then a spontaneous visit to Monet's Gardens in Giverny leads to an unexpected collision with a charming stranger who feels strangely familiar, and Megan's carefully braided world begins to unravel.

Noah Sinclair lives for code, not chaos. Observant, grounded, and quietly brilliant, he prefers systems that make sense.

But the moment Noah realizes the woman he met among Monet's roses is the same anonymous woman he's been messaging for years, everything changes.

Because Megan has no idea who he really is.

When work forces them into close collaboration in Paris, their connection deepens through shared deadlines, quiet conversations, and laughter that lingers longer than expected.

Then their demanding client issues a challenge: prove the dating app actually works with a staged fake-dating photo shoot across Paris.

What begins as a professional strategy soon becomes far more complicated as playful poses, lingering glances, and stolen moments start to feel dangerously real.

Now Noah must decide when to reveal the truth that could destroy everything between them. Megan must decide whether to retreat to safety or trust a connection that feels impossible to ignore.

Set against the cafés, gardens, and moonlit streets of Paris, Braided Roses is a clean, closed-door contemporary romance about trust, timing, and the courage it takes to let an unseen connection become real.

Perfect for listeners who love heartfelt slow-burn romance filled with heart and hope, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Content note: Clean, closed-door PG-13 romance. Themes include grief, emotional vulnerability, and the slow rebuilding of trust.
