The deeper the roots, the richer the ruin... All Quincy Anderson wants is to enjoy a life of quiet, academic solitude hidden away from the world and the people she's never been able to understand. But it isn't long before the dark sins of her past--and her complicated family legacy--find her. Enter Eden Ivers: charming, magnetic, and the only woman to ever capture Quincy's heart. As students, it was Eden who began unraveling the mysterious deaths and blood-soaked societies linked to their exclusive university, putting them both at the center of a dangerous game with no way to win. Now years later, the two women are thrust back into one another's lives--and that deadly game neither fully escaped. But ignoring the spark between them isn't as easy as it used to be...and the grisly legacy Eden once so carelessly challenged still lays in wait, ready to claim them both.
