For Kaylee Bleu, flowers have always been her life. A professor of botany with a PhD in plant taxonomy, Kaylee was endowed with a love of nature early in life by her maternal grandmother, Bea Lyons. But now Kaylee is caught in the middle of a tumultuous personal storm, one that has blown her back to her grandmother's door in the charming village of Turtle Cove, Washington. Kaylee's position at a prestigious Washington state university has been lost to budget cutbacks, and no new jobs are forthcoming unless she is willing to relocate from her beloved Pacific Northwest. Her grandmother has a solution: She is considering retirement and offers to sell The Flower patch, her floral shop, and Wildflower Cottage, her home, to her granddaughter. Kaylee, though reluctant to make such a life-altering change at the age of 40, has to admit it is a match made in heaven. But when Kaylee and her canine companion, a dachshund named Bear, arrive on beautiful Orcas Island they are confronted almost immediately with evidence that her grandfather's mysterious disappearance five years ago wasn't just a boating accident. it was murder. Kaylee and Bear join forces with the Petal Pushers, Turtle Cove's garden club, investigating Ed Lyon's presumed death. She also meets Reese Holt, the ruggedly handsome master carpenter who serves as Turtle Cove's handyman. When Reese discovers Ed's journal and its last, ominous entry, Kaylee believes they are on the trail of a cold-blooded killer.
