The de la Fleur women have always had bad experiences with men. That is to say, the men that they fall in love with always end up dying. Lux's great-grandfather was found with a dozen miniature roses blooming in his lungs; her father was discovered dead in Providence with traces of nightshade in his bloodstream. Because of this, her aunts were known throughout town as the Flower Girls, wild and beautiful and deadly. To upset them meant that you would have horrible abdominal pain and hallucinations from foxglove that mysteriously ended up in your nighttime tea. To mistreat them or harm them in any way meant poison ivy rashes and withered gardens and never being able to eat blackberries again without them tasting of dirt.Unlike her late grandmother, who met the love of her life when she was fifteen, or her Aunt Perrie, who falls head over heels for some man or another at least three times a week, Lux is not particularly interested in love. That is, until she meets Ari Decoteau.When Lux moves back into the house at the end of Coquelicot Lane, the house where everything happened, she will have to unravel the past if she has any hope of saving her future.
