Garden of Temptation: A Sweet and Clean Regency Romance

When duty and desire collide, will love find a way to bloom?

American heiress Violet Thompson came to England with one mission: secure a titled husband to elevate her family's standing. After three failed London seasons, she's running out of time and options. When the Earl of Griswold's son Edward shows interest, it seems her prayers are answered—until she discovers his dark secret that could destroy any chance of happiness.

Edison Hawthorn fled his village ten years ago to escape his abusive father, but family duty calls him home. His mother and siblings are suffering in poverty, and only steady employment can save them. When he takes a position as gardener at Birchwood Manor, he never expects to find himself drawn to the spirited American whose laughter makes him forget his burdens—and whose engagement to a scoundrel breaks his heart.

When Edison discovers Edward's affair with a servant, he faces an impossible choice: stay silent and watch Violet marry a faithless man, or speak up and lose the job his family desperately needs. But Violet faces an even harder decision—between the security of a loveless marriage and the uncertain future of following her heart to a man who can offer nothing but devotion.

As scandal threatens to destroy them both, Violet and Edison must decide: is love worth the risk of losing everything else?

Sometimes the greatest gardens grow where no one expects them to flourish.

An emotional Regency romance about choosing love over security, family loyalty, and the courage to defy society's expectations. The third standalone novel in the Garden of Love series, where hearts bloom against all odds.
