Hello !

Happy belated Canada Day to fellow Canuckleheads! 🇨🇦

And an early Happy Independence Day to the 'Mericans in the group! 🇺🇸

You may have heard (or read in one of my previous emails) that my next book is a billionaire rom-com featuring a grumpy hero named Will Power who is the Tony Robbins of my imagination and a plant-whispering heroine named Virginia Beach. We have to cut her some slack on the name since her older sister chose it when the two wanted to go incognito after their dad pulled a dick move on them when they were teens.

The Billionaire's Shrubbery was supposed to launch on July 10th, but ... it's landing this week—three days early—on July 7th!

(I realize that quote looks pretty steamy, but this is my least steamy book—the hero is 42 and the heroine is 38—there was no way I could force them to get as constantly randy as the 20-somethings in my previous series!)

Because I appreciate you, I've made the pre-order price just $2.99 (that's on Amazon.com) so folks who are kind of enough to open my emails can save $2 on the book. Next weekend, the price will go up to $4.99 USD.

If you have Kindle Unlimited, it will be available for you to read free. 🥰

Check out what over fifty Advance Readers have already said about the story in reviews on Goodreads, if you want to see what folks think about Will & Virginia before you download the book!

If you prefer reading actual book books, for the first time in the history of Danika Bloomdom, I was organized enough to have the paperback published ahead of the ebook. 🥂 I broke out a tiny bottle of champagne to celebrate that achievement! 🍾

What's the story, you ask?

Virginia Beach, at your service. Rich clients pay me a pretty peony to keep their houseplants as healthy as their bank accounts. Most treat me well. But Will Power? That man is as charming as an infestation of mealybugs. Guess what Mr. Grumpy Billionaire—I am no shrinking violet and I will not wither under your dazzling, sexy-as-an-orchid-in-bloom, scowl.

When Will Power brings his day-long, Come Into Power seminar to my city, I spring on the opportunity to absorb his billionaire tips to grow my shaky business.

I feel like I’ve won the lottery when he picks me from the crowd to do on-stage coaching. Until he humiliates me. In front of a thousand people.

So when a coveted ticket for his elite Power Broker Program accidentally drops into my lap, do I return it? Darn right, I do! Right into the hand of Mr. Liu, my brand new executive coach.

I know that once the mistake is noticed, I’ll be tossed out like an invasive weed. But until then—I will act like my green business belongs in the room beside the next Forbes 500 entrepreneurs.

When Mr. All Powerful learns the truth, instead of tearing me limb from limb, he makes me an offer I can’t refuse: I can stay in the program if I work my charms on all the plants at Will Power & Bros., his family's empire.

The one thorn? He insists I deliver my plant pep talks while he watches.

He’s arrogant. He’s entitled. He’s as gorgeous as a fiddle-leaf fig tree in bloom—and just as difficult to keep happy.

Still, it’s going to take every ounce of my willpower to keep from falling roots over sunflower for this grumpy billionaire.

****

If quirky, witty banter between a heroine who’s superpower is talking to plants and a hero who’s approach to conversation is barking motivational quotes sounds like your kind of couple, you’ll love meeting Virginia Beach and Will Power in this grumpy-sunshine, later-in-life, opposites attract, workplace, billionaire rom-com.

How to support me without buying the book

Even if this book isn't one that you're planning to read 🥺, you can still support this launch (and me!) by doing a couple of quick, free actions. Any one of these would bring me so much joy since I poured my heart, soul, and more hours than I care to think about into this story.

1. Add The BIllionaire's Shrubbery to your "Want to Read" shelf on Goodreads.
2. Follow me on Amazon.com. (If you're in another country, just search my name on your Amazon.)
3. Like, comment on, and share a couple of my Instagram posts.

Thank so much for reading my books and making it possible for me to continue doing this job I love so much!

xo,

Danika
