English Garden Romance

A tender, slow-burn romanceUK Review: "This is a gorgeous book - like honey for the soul. It is a gentle read and it helped me enormously through a low period during lockdown. The characters are carefully drawn and the story takes all the usual turns of star crossed lovers but via a few contemporary issues and in a way that makes you root for them. Delicious!"Ella Sanderson manages the farms and estate at Ashton Manor. She's an old-fashioned girl who knows what she likes. And she hates the ultra-modern garden designed by horticulture's bad boy, Connor McPherson which will destroy the place that brought her solace and potentially empty the estate's coffers.

But Connor starts to realise that beneath her buttoned-up exterior, Ella has a passion equal to his own and a secret she's hidden for years.As Ella fights to get the garden she hates built in time for the wedding she'd rather not attend and safeguard the manor from unwelcome publicity, she's increasingly drawn to the tempestuous designer. Who, she discovers, has his own secrets to protect…Meet old friends from The Garden Plot in the next in the series of the English Garden Romance series.
