A delightful queer romantic fantasy full of friends-to-lovers chemistry, found family, rival family drama, and cozy garden magic from two acclaimed YA authors making their adult debut

Yael Clauneck is more interested in drinking and flirting than joining their powerful family's business. They're on the precipice of a predetermined life when they flee their own graduation party, galloping away in search of . . . well, they're not sure, but maybe the chance to feel like life can still be a grand adventure.

Margot Greenwillow--talented plant witch, tea lover, and greenhouse owner--has never felt further from adventure in her life. She's been desperately trying to keep what remains of her family's magic remedies business afloat. So when Yael, her childhood friend and former crush, rides back into her life, she's shocked. But perhaps this could be a good thing. After all, Margot could use an assistant in the greenhouses.

Yael has no experience or, honestly, practical skills, but they're delighted to accept the job. They can lay low for a while, flirting with Margot and figuring out what to do next. Meanwhile, Margot has plans of her own--but plans are notoriously unreliable, and unlikely to survive a swiftly blooming mutual attraction, not to mention the machinations of parents determined to get their heir back . . . no matter the cost.
