About Forget-Me-Not
Anna Temple is about to start a new life…
It’s just not quite the one she had in mind. After the sudden death of her mother, Anna realizes she must live for the moment. Swapping hedge funds for herbaceous borders, and shares for scented stocks, she leaves the City to fulfil her dream of becoming a garden designer, a tribute to her green-fingered mother.
But on the eve of her sparkling new future, she meets Xan. Their chance encounter changes her world in more ways that she can have ever imagined – enter baby Milly, nine months later. Juggling her new business with new motherhood is a struggle, especially when embarked on alone.
Meanwhile, Anna’s father has moved to London to escape his memories. But he’s begun acting rather strangely. Neither Anna nor her incorrigible younger sister Cassie can figure out what he’s up to.
Then Anna discovers a long-buried family secret – and some news about the new man in her life – and skeletons tumble from the closet and the past rears its ugly head. Suddenly nothing is as it seems, past or present…
