Falsely branded a murderer and driven into hiding, the mercenary Leo collapses in a secluded garden watched over by Hannah, a young noble widow.

But as the truth he buried begins to surface, the fragile peace of the garden starts to shake once again… A romance born from a lie— in a garden where broken hearts take root and bloom anew.
