CHOICES. Sometimes they come back to haunt you...
Mateo's never been the family type. Proof? It's been nine years since he last spoke to his parents. But he's not alone because he's built his own family: his devoted, slightly obsessive boyfriend, his fiercely loyal sister, and her even-tempered husband and their precocious son. Together, they're all he needs.
Liam, living in New York, is haunted by everything he left behind. Chased by the ghost of who he thought he'd be, the city is only a reminder of what's missing. Desperate for an excuse to leave, he uses his mother's illness as a reason to return home, facing a life he thought he'd shut the door on forever.
After years apart, a midnight call shatters their carefully built worlds, bringing Mateo and Liam face-to-face. Over seven charged days, they're forced to confront their tangled, unresolved attraction -- and the choices they both ran from. Each day reveals just how damaged they are and just how much they're willing to risk.
The Flowers Need Watering is a moving exploration of love, forgiveness, and the fragile bonds of family -- the ones we're born into, the ones we choose, and the ones that threaten to undo us.
