When corporate accountant Rosalind Thorn inherits her grandmother's legendary rose garden, she's forced to return to the small town she fled at eighteen. She expects to survive one year and sell the property. Instead, she finds Gabriel Santos-a guarded man with a troubled past who tends the roses and sees past her thorny exterior to the wounded woman beneath.

As they work side by side nurturing the garden back to life, Rosalind discovers that her grandmother left her more than roses-she left her a chance to heal. But a ruthless developer threatens everything, and secrets from both their pasts refuse to stay buried.

A sweeping multi-generational romance about learning that everything beautiful has thorns-and that love is worth the risk of reaching anyway.
