Lily in Bloom

Stunning older woman.
Mysterious younger man.
A garden of infinite possibilities .

The terms of fifty-year-old Lily McVay's divorce settlement are quirky at best: live in her ex-husband's ancestral mausoleum of a house, restore her dead ex-mother-in-law's renowned garden, and host the small Gulf Coast town's overblown annual soiree. Lily needs help in the worst way.

Aided and abetted by her "I'll help bury the body, no questions asked" friends, an octogenarian neighbor with a sixth sense, and a gardening genius named Will, Lily sets out to lay old ghosts to rest and grow a new life. Not only is handsome thirty-something Will determined to save Lily from horticultural disaster, but the bond between them may prove that more is starting to bloom than just the garden.
