After Waterloo, Captain Sir Theo Grindon wanders to Edinburgh where he goes through a series of wealthy mistresses to whom he trades the use of his body for access to their large conservatories to indulge his true passion-botany. When his fourth mistress tosses him and his belongings into the street, his prospects appear grim. Until the timely arrival of his old friend, Sir Stirling James, with a proposition. Marriage to a woman with no designs on Theo’s body in her bed nor his heart at her feet. As she is in possession of the largest conservatory in England, it is an offer he finds difficult to refuse. Even if the lady in question with the face of a fairy queen and the disposition of a disgruntled hedgehog is daughter to a notorious murderer. After her father’s suspicious death, confirmed spinster, Eden Turner, is on the verge of losing both her fortune and her estate at Longbow. Family friend, Sir Stirling James, offers a practical solution. Marriage to a man whose only requirements are a bed and free run of Longbow’s considerable conservatory. Marriage to a studious botanist with no interest in entanglements of the heart seems a small price to pay to secure all she holds dear. Even if the botanist in question has the face of a Greek warrior, the body of a blacksmith, the appetite of a hoard of locusts, and a voice that turns her knees to jelly.
