"The forest woke with her-and it's hungry."

Lauren never meant to carry the valley's secret.

Haunted by a past she barely remembers, Lauren's life has been a trail of restless moves and unexplained plant life thriving in her wake. When she settles in a remote town, the lush, untamed valley seems to call to her-but something darker stirs beneath the soil.

Alex, the mysterious owner of a secluded plant nursery, knows more than he's letting on. The valley pulses under his care, whispering secrets that shouldn't be heard. When Lauren crosses his path, their connection is electric-and dangerous.

But she isn't the only one the forest has its roots in.

As a covert organization closes in, ready to weaponize the valley's power, Lauren must decide: surrender to the wild force blooming inside her... or risk the valley-and Alex-falling into ruin.

Perfect for fans of dark romance, eco-thrillers, and atmospheric suspense.
