From Little Stack

The last thing Rosemary expects when she meets Ash at the farmer’s market is to fall in love. Ash is everything Rosemary is not: pretty, practical, and precise. Her candles, soaps, cupcakes, and honey are all thanks to the gorgeous plants she grows. The more time she spends with Ash, the deeper Ro falls. As her obsession grows, Ro pushes to learn everything she can about Ash. But there’s a reason Ash is so successful. It’s all thanks to a secret ingredient. Ro’s every thought is consumed by Ash. And maybe that isn’t exactly an accident.

Publisher Description

A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella.

Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers' market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants.

Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she's not the one doing the devouring…

Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn...
