A shy gardener with a secret. The ex-healer who broke him. And an enchanted plant that could make their love bloom…if old wounds don’t bury them first.

For Eunny Song, magic is the enemy. At least, hers is, which is why she’s convinced everyone that her magic is gone. The former healer is content to run a repair café where she only fixes things, not people.

Ollas Nevin blames himself for Eunny’s bitterness toward her magic, but he’s never had the chance to make amends. The shy horticulture professor hopes his return to Sylveren University will provide a fresh start with the woman he’s loved since boyhood.

When Eunny’s shop collapses and injures Ollas, she insists on lending a hand during his recovery. Together for the first time in years, their closeness causes the magic plants at the heart of their past to wake. In the warmth of the greenhouse, feelings start to grow alongside the foliage—and secrets become impossible to keep. The plants could be the key to stopping a cursed poison ravaging a kingdom, but they require magic to bloom, and Eunny swore she would never touch the arcane again.

When the plants demand more than mundane care, will Eunny find the courage to face the past and reclaim the magic she used to love—and find new love too—or is the Healer Who Hurts beyond forgiveness?
