But after taking on a new story on the abuse of mental institution patients, Ash manages to find her... in the place that he least expected. Maybe this reunion will make both of their careers. Or maybe, the demons that Harlyn's running from will get them both killed. Only one thing is for certain: journalists never step down.

It all comes down to love... until it doesn't. Everyone always said that Ivy Hollister and Aster Heath got married too young. And if you think about it, nineteen is pretty early on. But the second that diamond ring slid onto her finger, Ivy knew that Aster was the one. Except maybe, just maybe, he wasn't. A year later, the man she married isn't the one she's living with, and her fairytale world is turned upside down. Her only hope is that someone, anyone, will believe her. But when no one is willing to give her wild stories a second thought, Ivy decides there's only one course of action left... getting rid of Aster. For good. Enter, the Calotropis Club, a local group of flower enthusiasts that share a deadly secret: Ivy isn't the only one with an abusive partner... and these wily women have tried their hand at a lot more than hedge trimmers and spades. Ultimately, Ivy only has one shot at freedom; the question is whether she can do what it takes to win it. Sometimes, you have to go a few steps too far to stay safe. Sometimes, gardens possess secrets deeper than the roots that grow within them. And sometimes, flowers aren't the only things hiding thorns.

"I've waited forever to touch you." He desperately holds onto my hips. "This is so wrong," I whisper. "But you love it, don't you?" He leans in close.

'Don't you want to just let go and be yourself?' My voice is barely a whisper, but I know he hears me. His body shudders as my fingertips brush his cheek, and blood rushes in my ears as he smiles. 'Only if it's with you.' Things have changed in the last hundred years; where the United States was once a country that embodied freedom, it's become a restrictive and manipulative nation. There's no religion. There's no free speech. And most of all, there's no right to love who you want. In the new American Republic, being gay is a crime punishable by death. But those rules don't stop anyone from fucking around; especially Rhydian and his four best friends. Now they just have to keep quiet. There's only one huge problem: Rhydian's the heir to the largest corporation in America, and his friends are all in similar positions. If the successors are killed for being homosexuals, the companies will fail. So, when a new way to change your sexuality is showcased at an underground convention, the five boys are sent to be the test subjects for the Hetero Project. But what once seemed like an innocent experiment is a far more sinister plan to destroy all that's left of the American Republic's freedoms. And Rhydian and his friends are the only ones who can stop them before it's too late.
