Publisher's Summary

A heart prepared to die that has never lived or loved...

Born with fragile health, Dawn Uxbridge has lived a sheltered existence. Her lonely days are filled by drawing fanciful landscapes and nurturing plants. When tragedy strikes, she finds herself alone and penniless with only one talent - a green thumb.

Jasper, the Earl of Seton, is in need of a gardener to reclaim his derelict estate in the remote west of England. He expected a robust commoner, not a fragile young woman.

With the next train a week away, Dawn has one chance to change the earl's mind and earn her place. But all is not as it seems at the ancestral manor. The estate is full of secrets. Ravens cluster on the parapets, and a ghostly young woman cries out at night. This garden conceals a rotten heart, and it plans to squeeze the last beat from Dawn's....

Contains mature themes.

Interesting

I thought this was going to be a dark regency romance but I’d say it was more Gothic due to the supernatural themes. I was hooked from the start and was fully engaged to the end. I listened to Mary Sarah at x1.1 speed and found her narration to be perfection. She has a wonderful ability to deliver the right amount of emotional intensity with her characterisations. I recommend this book and the entire series.
