Love Like Poison

Aurora Hale knows how to make anything bloom.

Roses.
Nightshade.
Even love.

In the sun-washed city of Elysian Coast, she runs Thorn & Bloom-a café-floral atelier that deals in beauty with a bite.

Her husband, Jeremiah, is chasing the kind of perfection that photographs well: seaside dinners, charity galas, and promises whispered through polished smiles.

But the petals have started to fall.

What once felt like devotion now feels like decay, soft, slow, and deliberate.
Thier relationship is withering under the weight of its own rot.

And in Elysian Coast, everything that grows beautiful must feed on something dying.
