Natural Enemies

By Roan Parrish

When opposites attract, love blooms in unexpected places.

Buttoned-up botanist Stefan Albemarle has felt like an outsider his whole life. As a result, he mostly keeps to himself—makes it easier not to notice that no matter how he tries, people think he's a know-it-all and a snob.

Freewheeling urban gardener Milo Rios has worked hard to get where he is, and he's passionate about his job at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. He can get along with almost anyone, but no one has ever made him care enough to stick around.

When Stefan and Milo meet on Milo's tour of the Botanic Garden, it's hatred at first clash. But hatred quickly turns to lust as Milo shows Stefan how exquisite it can feel to lose the control he's clung to for so long. As Stefan's mask begins to slip, Milo sees a deep vulnerability in the prim academic. Once he's experienced Milo's world, Stefan can admit that he wants more from life than professional success. If they can work together, Stefan and Milo just might be able to cultivate the future they both yearn for.
