A Scarred Earl with a Big Heart -- and an Impossible Problem
Since returning from war, the Earl of Stanford has retreated from the world. His life is a tangle of obligations and regrets: a meddling older brother, a crumbling estate, an injury that changed everything, and a future he no longer knows how to want. Content to hide in the countryside with his telescope and his solitude, Ollie Aspinwall wants nothing to do with society -- or schemes.
Until his brother delivers one to his doorstep.
The most infamous landscape architect in England.
A Gorgeous Hellion with Wild Dreams -- and a Dangerous Dare
Necessity Byrne has never obeyed the rules. Known for shocking society and blazing her own path, she's built a reputation as a brilliant, unconventional gardener -- and a woman no one can control. Helping restore a ruined estate for a reclusive earl should be simple enough... except for the inconvenient spark she's never forgotten from the steely-eyed rake she once met years ago.
A spark that still burns.
They agree to work together and nothing more. To restore the gardens, save the earldom, and keep their distance.
But proximity breeds temptation.
As attraction deepens into something neither expected, Ollie must decide if he dares offer his heart -- and his dreams of love and family -- to a woman who refuses to be tethered. And Ness must choose whether the most dangerous risk of all is falling for a broken man who sees her exactly as she is.
Come along for a scorching slow-burn romance featuring a besotted earl, a fearless hellion, and a love that grows wild where no one thought it could.
Heat level: Scorching hot. Slow burn included.
