Turn a neglected garden into a flowering paradise? Exactly the sort of challenge that Lucinda Stiles loves! Some might say that trimming shrubs and digging in the dirt are not proper pursuits for a young lady—Lucy doesn't care. But the garden happens to belong to Sir Robert Sandifort, who does. . .

The magical transformation that Lucy brings about has Sir Robert thoroughly exasperated. Does Miss Stiles not understand the meaning of private property, or does she take him for a blooming idiot? She must, or she would have given up long ago. Devil take it, the girl is a force of nature—and lovelier than any flower. If he's not careful, he will fall in love!
