Leap years are strange, enchanted times—and for some, even one February can change everything.

Ricki Wilde is many things: impulsive, artistic, and utterly unlike her glamorous, high-society sisters. While they’re long-stemmed roses, Ricki is a dandelion—wild, free, and always chasing the wind. Certain there’s a more thrilling life out there, she leaps at the chance to start over when the elegant Ms. Della offers her the downstairs apartment of a Harlem brownstone.

Leaving behind wealth, family, and messy love affairs, Ricki sets out to open her dream flower shop. But Harlem holds more than fresh starts—it hums with the echoes of the Harlem Renaissance, where magic still lingers.

One February evening, as the unexpected scent of jasmine drifts through the air, Ricki meets a mysterious stranger who tilts her world off its axis.

A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a dazzling tale of love, art, and fate—where past and present dance, and two kindred spirits find each other against the timeless rhythm of Harlem.
