by Maryrose Wood Jessamine's father is an apothecary (sort of an old-school pharmacist). She's become quite gifted at growing and handling his plants, but there is a locked section of the garden that he will not even let her enter. It's where he keeps the poisonous plants, and he seems afraid even at the mere mention of her entering. She respects his wishes, but one day, a young man who is extremely gifted with plants himself, is dropped off at their house and left in their care. Weed has a secret, and as he reveals pieces of the mystery to Jessamine, they fall in love. What does Weed know about the poison garden? Can he be trusted, or is he simply too dangerous for Jessamine to love?
What an interesting concept! The idea for this book came from an actual poison garden kept by the Duchess of Northumberland in England. To tell you what makes this story different would give too much away.
