Bloom Where You’re Planted: From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness. What happens when the first blush of love fades? Jennifer Pritchett feels increasingly invisible and left behind as her friends move on to the next steps in their lives. As she goes to therapy to figure out how to bloom in her own right, her boyfriend, Nick Carrington, finds himself being the one left behind. Jennifer wants their relationship to have more intimacy, but he can’t help but feel like he’s being compared to others—and found wanting. Can they each get what they need out of this relationship? Or will the flowers shrivel up before they do?

DJ Jess: Hi, I’m Jess and I’m a Scorpio and I enjoy long walks on the beach and to the bank! But outside of my love for vacations and nice things I have a huge love for music which sparked my interest in DJing since a little girl, so it was no surprise to some that I turned my passion into my career. I’ve been DJing professionally since 2017 and I haven’t looked back. God is truly the greatest! More info here.
