Some love stories don’t end. They wait.
When a box of roses appears—and disappears—inside Cedar Hollow’s historic bookstore, New York literary assistant Nora Pembroke senses a story hidden beneath dust, wood, and long-forgotten choices.
As the town prepares for its Valentine festival, Nora begins uncovering fragments of a tragedy buried centuries ago: a young woman who died on Valentine’s Day, a box of roses that never reached its destination, and a truth quietly erased when town records were lost to fire.
With the reluctant help of Sheriff Caleb Rowan—a widower with a craftsman’s hands and a past more closely tied to the town than he realizes—Nora follows a trail of hidden rooms, vanished documents, and clues carved into wood and memory.
But some histories weren’t lost by accident.
And some love stories were never meant to be rushed.
The Undelivered Roses is a gentle romantic mystery about withheld love, patient hearts, and the quiet courage it takes to let the past speak at last.
