Ash and Amaranth

Lena Fitzgerald grows poison on purpose and tells the police what killed people. When a body turns up in Fairmount Park with a flower in its throat that hasn't grown in the city for a century, she calls the one man she knows who specializes in impossible plants. Soren Vale supplies her seeds, corrects her Latin, and happens to be a vampire who was the victim's last appointment. He didn't do it. Somebody wants the city to think he did. A dark modern vampire romance with a working botanist, a real poison garden, and a killer who chose the wrong signature to steal.
