About the book

A Secret in the Garden

*This limited deluxe edition includes gorgeous designed edges and spot gloss*

From USA Today bestselling author Jeneane O'Riley comes the first in a series of deliciously dark and whimsical standalone romances.

Some secrets were never meant to be unearthed. 

Perched on a windswept cliff, Blackwood Manor looms like a dark monument to a mysterious family. Behind its grand iron gates, one part of the estate has been left to rot since the tragic death of Hester Blackwood: the once-glorious conservatory, now choked by vines and shattered glass. The rest of the family is gone―only her brooding son, Jasper, remains, the heir to a weapons empire. 

Desperate to save her job and out of options, botanist Eliza Arnold makes a bold gamble―drive to the manor and beg the elusive millionaire for a donation. Jasper agrees...on one chilling condition: restore the conservatory. Alone. No help. No leaving. 

But the manor is not empty. 

As Eliza battles thorns and secrets, a magnetic tension builds between her and Jasper―dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. And something else stirs among the roots and ruins...whispers in the walls, confusing disturbances, and a presence watching her every move. 

The deeper Eliza digs, the more she uncovers a garden of grief, longing…and desire. Because in Blackwood Manor, even buried things can bloom again.
