A gifted botanical artist with southern charm and a complicated past, Orchid Blackthorn finds a chilling sense of purpose when a violent encounter pulls her into the world of using her mastery of toxic plants to turn vengeance into an art form. Her precision kept her safe—until Exodus Rowan appears. A man who unsettles her discipline with questions she can’t ignore and emotions she can’t afford to feel. He’s charming, mysterious, and inviting, but what Orchid doesn't know is behind his watchful eyes lies a Exodus isn’t just drawn to her darkness... he’s hunting it. As desire tangles with deception, Orchid and Exodus are locked in a dangerous game of predator and prey. The question is, when the final seed is planted, who will survive the harvest?
