Roses Are Green

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, and Summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sage is just your average deadbeat twentysomething, but he's about to have a spring that he'll never forget.

When his Uncle enlists him for some volunteer work at the family flower shop, the last thing he expects is to meet the mysterious and beautiful Rosie. The intoxicating fragrance of flowers hangs thick in the air over this short, dark romantic horror story. Will their relationship blossom into something precious, or will the rose's thorns entangle Sage in a web that will spell his ruin?
