Summary
All gardeners talk to their plants, but how often do the plants talk back?

Sunny Winfield has always shared a special connection with the earth, the same type of connection her beloved grandmother had before she died and things got… bad. Some secrets, though, are better left buried. That’s why Sunny’s plans for the summer are unremarkable—she’ll tend her plants, play with her dog, and do her best to disregard the voices she hears in the vegetation. Unfortunately, her carefully crafted plans are uprooted the moment her brother crashes his dirt bike into Heath Sloan’s front yard, ruining his haphazard garden. Panicked, Harlan makes Heath a bargain: his sister’s gardening service, in exchange for his life.

But Heath is harboring a secret too. Trapped by a power more malicious than Sunny could ever imagine, that secret is the reason he vanished from her life five summers ago. It’s also the reason why he wants nothing to do with Sunny—the sweet girl who means too much.

Even though she can’t understand Heath’s volatile nature and bestial anger, some bonds are just too strong to sever. Sunny isn’t willing to let Heath slip away again, and promises to do whatever she can to help him. As the summer days dwindle, the mystery behind Heath’s instability shatters Sunny’s world. Heath is running out of time and the only person who can save him is Sunny—but only if she first learns to accept her destiny and succumb to the whispers in the woods.
