About this book

For the Flores women, magic is a double-edged sword passed down through generations, a legacy of an ancient curse that Sage Flores has spent eight years trying to outrun. Haunted by the tragic loss of her younger sister, Sage finally returns to her roots, hoping to find solace in the quiet work of botany. With the ability to communicate with plants, she is uniquely gifted at uncovering rare, hidden specimens, but her homecoming forces her to confront the ghosts of her past and the volatile elemental magic of her surviving sister.

The situation grows complicated when she is forced to partner with Tennessee Reyes, the man who shattered her heart in high school. As they scour the landscape for heritage plants, the professional tension dissolves into a smoldering, second-chance romance that feels as inevitable as a summer storm. Blending the cozy atmosphere of a witchy academy with high-stakes emotional stakes, the story weaves a lush narrative where the boundaries between the natural world and the supernatural blur.

Perfect for fans of the paranormal, this enchanting read balances tender, nostalgic yearning with the grounded, earthy power of elemental magic. It is a heartfelt exploration of grief, family secrets, and the wild, unpredictable nature of love.
