For as long as Marlena can remember, she has seen flowers growing on everyone she meets: colors that reveal what their owners truly feel. Invisible to the rest of the world, the flowers have always felt overwhelming, too much for Marlena to take in when they don't match what their owner shows. She's long since given up convincing anyone they're there. Until she meets Ashe, a charming transfer student who can also see these mysterious flowers. Ashe wants nothing to do with Marlena, but as their thorny connection blooms, hidden secrets buried years ago begin to surface.
