Four hundred years?
Shock wasn’t too strong a word. Why had it been so important to Stella to cover up her past? “Do you know Lord Wyndham?” she turned to ask, her eyes on his profile. Oddly enough she was getting used to that aquiline beak.
“I’m working on a large project there at the moment,” he said by way of a response. An evasion if ever there was one. “The restoration of the hall’s once famous gardens, particularly the rose gardens. It had become something of a wilderness, quite a challenge, but Lord Wyndham hired a world-famous landscape designer, David Courtland.”
She was fortunate she had grown up with a passionate gardening team, Stella and Arnold, who had passed on their passion to her. “I’ve heard of him.” She nodded. “I’m assuming you’re the gardener?”
“You could say that.”
“A pretty posh one, if you don’t mind my saying so.” Her amazing lime-green eyes flashed mockery.
“Don’t mind in the least. If you’re very good between here and the hall I’ll let you see over the garden. It has a number of ‘rooms’ but Dave has begun a new project. He’s in London for a couple of days.”
“Leaving you in charge? Call him Dave, do you?” she asked provocatively.
“The first strike against you,” he clipped off.
“Ah, come on.”
“Get back in the car.”
“Certainly, m’lord.”
And so it began. The great star-crossed love affair of her life.
