I have to admit I read this book twice it was that good. I had never heard of Cynthia Wicklund before but after reading this book I have purchased and read the rest of her Garden Series. I thought the story was well written and full of romance, sadness, defiance and suspense. If you like historical romance novels then this book is a definitely a must have book.Catherine is in an affectionless marriage which her father setup to the Baron who in turn is crazy. Unbeknownst to Catherine her husband Edgar (Baron) is setting her up for having a sexual affair with different men. He does this by claiming to the unsuspecting men that he is trying to sell his prized horses.  Edgar goes to great lengths in his charade by having his wife dress provocatively and coming up with excuses as to why Catherine has to entertain these gentleman alone. Well Catherine ends up taking the bait one day when Adam the Earl of Ashworth comes to look at Edgar's horses. They end up having an affair with Adam that goes on for some time that Edgar hoped for but what Edgar didn't hope for was that Catherine would fall in love.
