In the hush of a secluded Bath garden, Elizabeth Bennet trades London dust for the scent of roses—and discovers that even the quietest soil can upend a heart.
Hired to keep an eccentric widow’s sprawling grounds alive through the seasons, Elizabeth finds an unexpected fellow gardener in Fitzwilliam Darcy, the reclusive gentleman who co?owns the property and hides wounds as deep as winter frost.
Their first twilight meeting sparks over compost heaps and pruning shears; soon, shared routines of turning earth and feeding birds cultivate something tender beneath past misunderstandings.
But storms threaten every bloom: a fever in Hertfordshire, an accident on a swaying orchard ladder, and the letter Darcy once lost but never forgot.
As frost laces the greenhouse glass, Elizabeth must decide whether broken branches can graft into lasting love—and whether a mid?winter rose can truly herald spring.
“The Garden at Number Nine” is a slow?burn Regency romance that celebrates regrowth, patience, and the quiet miracles that flourish when hearts dare to bloom after the hardest season.
