Bea's Magical Summer Garden

Lilac-haired Bea Appleton can't wait to create a buzz about the honey festival at her fantastic garden. The only thorn in her side is her awful next-door neighbour. Ever since he moved in, he and his poisonous assistant Carla have been complaining about Bea's beautiful climbing plants ruining the 'clean lines' of his garden. The ongoing feud has Bea worried. Will her horrible neighbours pose problems for her festival? Enter handsome TV presenter Marcus Rainton. He's the polar opposite of her horrible neighbour. He's entranced by both Bea and her beautiful garden, not to mention the buzzing bees and a certain black cat. Marcus is only meant to be here visiting his cousin, but he certainly seems determined to stick around. Is Bea the attraction? But is all as it seems?
