A Secret Garden — Katie Fforde

Lorna Buckthorn is a garden designer. Having become pregnant at a young age to a man she hardly knew, she quit her career as a sculptor in favour of a more regular profession in order to bring up her son.

Now though her job is going well and the cottage she lives in is attached to Burthen House, a magnificent estate owned by the rather handsome Peter â€" a man Lorna fell in love with many years ago.

Unfortunately Peter has no idea of Lorna's feelings and won't spare her the details of his constant internet search for a new girlfriend.

So when Peter invites her to a dinner party to meet his latest match, she doesn't for a second imagine she'll meet a young, good-looking stone-mason. Certainly not one who she met in rather different circumstances many years ago...
