WINE FOR ROSES With Author Emily O'Malley Liu

Emily O'Malley Liu will be discussing her debut novella, WINE FOR ROSES! Signings to take place after the discussion.

They say the stolen rose blooms best.

When Ethan Keating Mendoza is hired as a gardener at an old Victorian residence in central Indiana, he has one clear mission: make the roses bloom. Ethan's life is roses--he's the son of a hedge witch and a partner in his father's rose growing business--but he has no magic himself.

The Kilbride estate is wild and overgrown. The roses have not bloomed in decades, and Ethan fears he may be in over his head. Worse still is Louis, the peculiar trustee of the property, who lives under a bloodthirsty curse that ties him to the garden. But Louis gives Ethan a chance, and Ethan is determined to do right by the suffering roses. As Ethan and Louis grow closer, Ethan becomes increasingly desperate to save the man he loves from the garden's curse.

But the garden isn't letting them go without a fight.

Wine for Roses is a lushly written novella full of intriguing magic and love of all kinds. The plot blooms amid a slow-burning romance. The characters are complex, and I enjoyed getting to know them. -E. H. Lupton, author of the Wisconsin Gothic series
