Anna Temple is about to start a new life. It's just not quite the one she had in mind. After the sudden death of her mother, Anna realises that she must live for the moment. Swapping hedge funds for herbaceous borders, she leaves the security of her job in London's financial district to fulfil her dream of becoming a garden designer. But on the eve of her sparkling new future she meets TV reporter Xan. Their chance encounter changes Anna's world in more ways than she could ever have imagined - enter baby Milly nine months later. Juggling her business with new motherhood is a struggle, especially alone. Meanwhile, Anna's widowed father is behaving very strangely - neither Anna, nor her wayward younger sister Cassie, can figure out what he's up to. Then Anna unearths a long-buried family secret, and disturbing news about the new man in her life. Skeletons tumble from the closet and the past rears its ugly head. Suddenly nothing is as it seems, past or present... From the internationally bestselling author of 'A Vintage Affair'.
