Sophie Drear never expected to fall in love. But over a summer in Maine, she does: with the dazzling flowers and the towering hedge maze of Lilymoor House.

But then, a door appears. Never in the same place twice. Leading only to a dishevelled garden, and a beguiling thundercloud of a man, confined inside.

Battling with the vines – just as much as she is with Lilymoor’s owner’s two inconveniently handsome nephews – Sophie knows that she is the only person who can help Lilymoor bloom again. But when you're stuck between the men on the outside, and the one trapped within, can the seeds of romance bloom into something more…?

*

Featuring all your favourite tropes:

🌱 Grumpy vs sunshine

🌱 A setting you’ll grow obsessed with

🌱 Magic that defies nature

🌱 Characters you root for

🌱 A love story that will leaf you breathless
