The Midlife Misgivings of Edward Marsh

Book 4 in the Imperfect Lives series

#1 best-selling New Zealand author

"Catherine Robertson is a new national treasure."

Edward 'Ned' Marsh has upturned his entire life for love. He's exchanged sunny Italy and steady work for unemployment and a dismal flat in London.

Regrets, he has a few. But his best woman friend, Darrell, encourages him to look wider, and he scores an interview for a plum gardening job in the Buckinghamshire estate of wealthy Anne Reynolds. It comes with a cottage. It's Ned's idea of heaven.

Of course, nothing can be that perfect. Anne's son has come home. Ned met Marcus Reynolds in Italy and pegged him as a feckless womaniser. Marcus has his eye on his Darrell and if he doesn't back off, Ned may have to kill him and bury his body under the prize magnolias.

And what about Ned's own girlfriend. Will she support him? Or will a new start for Ned mean an end to the whole reason he left his old life in the first place?
