In the small, quiet town of Harrow's Edge, life is simple but far from ordinary. Among the winding cobblestone streets and ancient oak trees stands the town's most mysterious landmark: the old botanical garden, a place once beloved by all but now abandoned and surrounded by rumors. It's here that Eliza Montgomery finds herself drawn, after inheriting her late aunt's estate. Amidst the overgrown flowers and forgotten pathways, Eliza uncovers a secret that will change her life forever-a red chrysanthemum, blooming vibrantly in the garden, where no flower should have grown.

The red chrysanthemum, with its deep, haunting color, becomes an obsession for Eliza. The flower seems to hold an eerie power, drawing her closer as she unravels the tangled web of her aunt's past. Through letters, journals, and cryptic messages left behind, Eliza learns that her aunt was entangled in a forbidden romance and a tragic love story that had consequences reaching far beyond the grave. But there's someone else who has been watching her-Vincent Knight, a brooding and mysterious man with connections to the garden and the secrets of its past.

As their paths intertwine, Eliza finds herself falling for Vincent, despite his shadowed history and the weight of the town's dark secrets. But the more she digs into the mystery of the red chrysanthemum, the more she uncovers about her own family's ties to the past. Love, betrayal, and loss blur together as Eliza is forced to face the truth about the flower-and the legacy it represents.

Red Chrysanthemum is a beautifully written, emotionally charged romance with a touch of mystery and suspense. It is a story of love that transcends time, a journey of self-discovery, and the unearthing of long-hidden truths. As Eliza gets closer to the answers she seeks, she must decide if her love for Vincent is worth the sacrifices, or if the red chrysanthemum's haunting beauty will be her undoing.
