An epic love story a century in the making…

Leap years hold a certain magic, and for some, even a single February can change everything.

Ricki Wilde possesses many gifts, but being a Wilde is not one of them. As the free-spirited, artistic daughter of a prominent Atlanta family, she stands in stark contrast to her refined socialite sisters. While they are elegant roses, Ricki is a dandelion: charming yet misunderstood, destined to drift wherever the breeze takes her. Deep down, she knows there’s a more thrilling life waiting for her somewhere beyond her family’s world.

When the dignified Ms. Della, a nonagenarian, offers Ricki the chance to rent the lower floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki seizes the opportunity for a fresh start. Leaving behind her wealthy upbringing, her family, and the mess of her past relationships, she pursues her dream of opening a flower shop. Beneath the surface of her new Harlem neighborhood, the vibrant music, stories, and cultural magic of the Harlem Renaissance continue to pulse with life.

One evening in February, as the enchanting scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki meets a handsome and enigmatic stranger who disrupts her world in ways she never imagined.

Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and the timeless glamour of the Renaissance, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a heartwarming love story about two passionate artists drawn to the enchantment, romance, and endless possibilities of New York. Their lives, forever entwined, are about to take an irreversible turn.
