Julie Randall needs that book.

Not because it’s a rare first-edition, but because the handwritten notes in the margins will unlock the secrets of her Victorian-era kitchen garden in north London. The book was almost hers, but now it’s in the hands of some aristocratic jerk who probably doesn’t know a tomato from a cucumber. Make that a handsome, aristocratic jerk.

Kingsbury Town Football Club star midfielder Hugo Auchincloss has that book and isn’t about to give it up quite so easily. Julie has lit a spark that he hasn’t felt in a long time, and he’s not going to be satisfied until he has her-that idiot boyfriend of hers be damned. It would be easy.

Until it wasn’t.
