Madeline's home, Whitethorn, needs some work, but the gardens, once its crown and glory, have become overgrown. They need serious work, and that will take time and money, but she is determined to save them.Lucian Harrow has never met a woman he couldn't seduce--until Madeline. She's intelligent, hard working, and lovely, but constantly keeps him at arm's length. He suffers from debilitating headaches that have become all too frequent. Lucien drinks, and when he does, he writes beautiful music; he often writes until dawn only to later destroy it.The more he pursues Madeline, the harder it is for her to refuse him. What happens when she doesn't? Her friends tell her she has no future with him, or does she?I absolutely LOVED this novel! The reader is drawn to Lucien's suffering, and Madeline's need to ease it. Textbook Barbara Samuel, this book is quite simply elegant, and the ending is perfect. Very, very highly recommended!
