About the book

Lady Lavender Cavendish, following her husband's unfortunate passing, has no interest in entering into another marriage. She currently resides at Willoughby Hall with three fellow widows, finding contentment in the tranquility of her seaside life. However, everything changes when she encounters Kendrick Wycliffe, the cantankerous and mysterious writer who lives nearby.

For the past twelve years, Kendrick has been concealing his past, crafting stories of love despite having lost faith in it long ago. When Lavender unexpectedly stumbles into his garden, he cannot ignore the warmth and brightness she brings into his world.

Regrettably, Kendrick's hidden truths prevent him from pursuing what could potentially be the greatest happiness he has ever known. Will Lavender be able to penetrate the barriers safeguarding his heart, just as she did with his garden?
