Never trust a woman who knows both wedding flowers and where to hide a corpse.
My name is Anastasia Ashwood. I run The Botanicum, a magical flower shop in New York City, where the roses bite, the orchids judge, and the customers occasionally breathe fire. I’m also a dryad, a retired assassin, and a fugitive from Sentinel Security Group, the organization that trained me, betrayed me, and murdered everyone I loved. One day, I will bring Sentinel down and kill their leader, Isaiah White.
In the meantime, I am trying to keep my shop alive, stay hidden, and pretend wedding flowers are the most dangerous thing on my schedule. Then a high-profile supernatural wedding turns into a murder scene when I find a cleaning woman dead in the bridal suite, killed by a professional assassin.
Now I have to solve the murder, protect my shop, deal with a judgmental telepathic cat who may or may not have adopted me, and follow the first real lead to Sentinel I have had in a year.
Unfortunately, sexy incubus Detective Julian Blake is watching my every move, and if he discovers what I really am, the killer may be the least of my problems.
