<p><em>"Lily?"</em></p><p><em>My stomach dropped as a tall, dark-haired man stepped into view. Had he been hiding between the trees?</em></p><p><em>"No. Sorry." Gulping, I took a step back. "I'm not Lily."</em></p><p><em>He shook his head, a satisfied grin on his face. "No. You are Lily."</em></p><p><em>"I'm Summer. You have the wrong person." You utter freak!</em></p><p><em>I could hear my pulse crashing in my ears. How stupid to give him my real name. He continued to stare at me, smiling.

I tried to shout, but he clasped his hand over my mouth, muffling my screams. My heart raced. I'm going to die.</em></p><p>For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her-and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...</p>
