The Someday Garden

Sophie Drear is a horticulturist who has vowed not to fall in love again. She is also grieving her best friend. When a temporary summer post opens at Lilymoor House and Gardens, she takes it and becomes head gardener of a historic estate on the cliffs of Odette, Maine.

The owner is eccentric and is preparing a bicentennial celebration. The grounds have been neglected, and Sophie has one summer to work on them.

Behind a blue door in the overgrown grounds, she finds a secret garden. A man is inside it who seems unable to leave, and he experiences time differently from the way she does.

A second man is closer to hand: the owner's great-nephew, who works beside her in the open grounds. Sophie is drawn toward both, in a gently magical romance with a love triangle at its center. The tone is atmospheric and storybook, and the question is which of the two men she will let in.
