London, 1815: Lady Mildred Weller (Eddie to her friends) has few prospects for marriage. If she can't attract the available—though considerably older—Lord Averdale, she may be doomed to spinsterhood. She's even willing to enter into that loveless union, if only to escape her mother's stifling and increasingly desperate dominance. And she may have found the perfect person to help her achieve that goal.
Ezekiel Blackwood is a botanist as well as Lord Averdale's nephew and heir. He is also a social disaster. Cross-pollination he understands; the fairer sex not at all. But in Lady Eddie, he discovers a kindred spirit. When she asks for his assistance in assessing Lord Averdale's interest in her, Ezekiel is crushed. But naturally, he thinks, she could never fall in love with someone like him. Ezekiel's matchmaking cousin is only too happy to arrange a discreet rendezvous for their conspiracy—a greenhouse. Of course in such a setting, it's only natural that feelings might begin to bloom...
