At twenty-five, Ivy Rose Faylan discovered two things that changed her life forever: the man who raised her wasn't her biological father, and plants could talk.
Seven years later, Ivy has mostly adjusted to being half-Fae. She owns Ivy & Rose Specialty Plant Emporium, tends five acres of thriving gardens and greenhouses, and has built an unusual intelligence network. Plants hear everything, people rarely watch what they say around a ficus, and Ivy's botanical gossips are only too happy to share.
Most of what they hear is harmless. Sometimes, it isn't.
When the plants whisper about missing people, suspicious deaths, and secrets someone was willing to kill to protect, Ivy takes what she learns to Detective Steven Sinclair. He's spent years turning her impossible tips into real evidence without exposing her secret, making him one of the few humans Ivy trusts completely.
But Ivy's comfortable life is beginning to change. Her strange magic has transformed her property into something the Fae recognize as a Grove, her plants are becoming increasingly aware, and Ivy is about to learn that being half-Fae means far more than hearing botanical gossip.
Someone has noticed what she's becoming.
Fortunately for Ivy, it's almost impossible to keep a secret when the plants know what you did.
