Synopsis
Picking blackberries in a derelict garden with her little girl has the most unexpected outcome for Kay Lovell - firstly Kay was kissed by a tall, dark and brooding stranger - and then he hired her as his gardener! Kay did her best with the garden - and her cantankerous new boss, Dominic Ravenscar. He was obviously still dealing with the emotional scars from his past, but gradually Kay unearthed the real Dominic, the one who loved life and just wanted a family of his own...

From the Author
Dear Readers
Several of my books have touched on the lives of the inhabitants of Upper Haughton. Willow and Mike Armstrong from The Runaway Bride settled here. The Hilliards from A Perfect Proposal live in the Old Rectory. Jake and Amy Hallam, from my RITA® nominated book The Bachelor’s Baby still live here, too. Of course they moved out of Amy’s cottage a long time ago, needing more room for their three boys. No, Amy still hasn’t got the daughter she longed for. You didn’t really expect her to keep that abandoned baby, did you? Not when there was a desperate mother out there somewhere?
Little Polly isn’t far away though. She lives in the cottage with her mother Kay Lovell, who works at the village shop, makes prize-winning marmalade and spends her spare time helping out the neighbours. And never talks about her past.
Linden Lodge, however, has been empty for six years. The garden is running wild, the blackberries are tempting – and desperately needed for the village harvest upper – and the lock on the gate is broken. But Dominic Ravenscar has at long last returned and Kay’s trespass doesn’t go unnoticed...
Upper Haughton is a real village, a place from my own childhood. I’ve only changed the name.
With love...
Liz
