A wounded hero in search of redemption. A morally questionable miss with a heart of gold. A steamy historical romance with found family, lurking danger, and a legendary happily ever after.
Owen Harrington went to war to become a hero. He came home a scarred and volatile man—one who no longer trusts his hands, his honor, or his heart. Afraid of hurting those he loves, he restores ruined gardens, keeping the world at a careful distance.
Then Seraphina “Finn” Kidd sweeps into his village and turns it topsy-turvy by claiming that she can speak to the dead. Clever, dodgy, and utterly unafraid of Owen (or anything else), Finn refuses to treat him like a broken man in need of mending. She possesses dangerous beauty, reckless courage—and a hidden agenda.
When forbidden desire ignites, Owen and Finn tumble headlong into sizzling hot passion. Owen struggles to contain longings he believes he has no right to claim, while Finn is torn between her secret purpose and the wayward yearning of her heart. Together they must confront hidden enemies and uncover the truth behind a century-old mystery for a chance at redemption—and to fulfill a long-standing prophecy of love.
