Business as usual for Sid . . ."

"For years Heather had dreamed of a journey to England to see the garden of Troytan House. The owner denies her request, so she climbs a wall and goes in anyway. She's shocked to see part of the famous garden overgrown and the owner seems to like her a little too much.

Another wonderful book by Barbara Michaels with a little of the supernatural in it."
