Falling For The Dowager

A standalone steamy regency retelling of The Secret Garden

When Helena, Dowager Countess of Sidney discovers her dead’s husband’s affair and potential love child, she knows she needs to leave polite society, and escape somewhere no one will know her. What could be better than the remote Scottish island of Mull and where her family’s medieval Keep is?
Unbeknownst to Helena her brother’s steward and occasional gardener, Mr. Dickon, the knowledgeable, green fingered and handsome scot, who has a way with plants, nature and animals, is more than willing to provide any kind of sanctuary she might need.

Could this fling ever be anything else?
