The Garden

When she arrives for the first day on the job, however, her new employer has an interesting proposition for her. Angus Westmoreland is a wealthy aristocrat whose ex-wife Cecelia is moving back to the country with the sole intention of remarrying her ex-husband.

Still stinging from her divorce and a recent visit from her ex-husband, Kate empathizes with Angus and accepts his proposal. It doesn't take long for Angus to recognize Kate's warmth and wit or for Kate to recognize Angus' strength and spirit. Soon the two find themselves falling in love. But the same fate that draws them together also threatens to separate them. Angus' sister resolves to break the couple apart. Angus business partner and best friend wants Kate for himself. And although Kate thought her ex-husband was out of her life forever, he comes back to haunt her once more.
