All Margaret Reedy's despicable husband left her when he died was the title of Countess of Everly, a ramshackle estate, and a pittance to repair it. Fortunately, he couldn't deny her the most important perk of widowhood: freedom. A chance to become the woman she might have been if a forced marriage hadn't gotten in her way. Problem is, she's not entirely certain who that is.

Oliver Ludlow's only desire is to spend the next month with his hands buried in the soil of his greenhouse, escaping London and his newly appointed role as the Marquess of Greenwood.

As he gets to know her, however, he begins to find her quirks intriguing... and alluring.
