Blood & Blooms

Blood and Blooms A long time ago, in a village far outside of Charleston...Marigold Greene says:I’ve always known there was something unusual about me. The way plants seem to respond to my touch, the magic I can weave through their petals—it’s a secret I’ve kept hidden for as long as I can remember. But when an elegant invitation arrived, summoning me to Evermist Castle, my quiet life as a florist unraveled in ways I never expected.Dorian Sussex, the reclusive vampire nobleman who lives there, hired me to revive his hidden garden—a breathtaking sanctuary of rare, magical plants. It’s a challenge I couldn’t resist. But the moment I stepped through the castle gates, I felt it: the pull of something more than curiosity, something I couldn’t quite name.Dorian is as much a mystery as the garden itself. Brooding and captivating, he’s a man of shadows and secrets. With every moonlit stroll we share, every glance that lingers too long, I find myself falling deeper—into his world and into him.But this place, this garden, isn’t just beautiful. It’s dangerous. The blooms I nurture are tied to a past darker than I could have imagined, and the power they hold may be the key to saving Dorian—or destroying us both.Now I’m faced with a choice: protect the magic I’ve cultivated all my life, or risk everything for a man whose secrets could be my undoing.Blood and Blooms is my story, and it’s a tale of love, peril, and the fine line between shelter and surrender.
