About this book

A broken promise in an Italian garden sets the emotional terms of Margaret Pedler's romance. Eliot receives a letter ending his engagement, then confronts the young woman who wrote it. Her longing for the comfort and beauty of a wealthy household has overtaken her willingness to marry him. The scene joins fragrant flowers and summer heat to a painful argument about love, money and the cost of choosing between them.

Later, Ann finds herself wounded by Eliot Coventry's distrust, with the scent of heliotrope stirring memories he cannot put aside. She responds by welcoming Brett Forrester's company, sharing outings by boat and car as he seeks to hold her attention. Readers interested in romantic conflict will find a novel concerned with pride, remembered hurt and the uncertain signals people send when they try to protect themselves from disappointment.
