Sumner, a notorious earl, and an infamous hellion need to face an
unforgettable passion.
A scarred earl with a big heart—and a big problem.
Since his return from war, the Earl of Stanford’s life has been
anything but simple. A meddling older brother, a raucous group of friends, a
crumbling estate, and an injury that forever changed him. Now this. Her. His
brother’s bright idea of a way out. The most infamous landscape
architect in England arriving on his doorstep to restore his ruined gardens
and his ruined heart. Only, Ollie Aspinwall isn’t falling for this
sibling ploy.
He’s content to hide in the country, a brooding, stargazing, lost
soul.
A gorgeous hellion with wild dreams—and a wild challenge.
Necessity Byrne has heard the rumors about the Scarred Earl. A walking
scandal, she’s used to flouting convention and shocking society, so
the offer to assist a reclusive peer with beautification of his estate is a
project she’d consider. Except for the ripple of awareness that dances
along her skin every time she recalls meeting the handsome, steely eyed rake
years ago. A dilemma she doesn’t care to solve—even if she wants
the job.
However, she’s a woman determined to take every dare offered
her.
So, they agree to disagree for the sake of the earldom’s gardens, all
the while battling a breathless, rampant attraction—until Ollie
decides he wants to keep her. Can he persuade his feisty, adorable gardener
to accept a besotted, broken-down earl with dreams of a family and
love?
Come along on this sizzling slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, sorta second
chance romp!
