In the Forgotten Garden

Lilias Lennox and her sister Evelia have lost everything. Their parents are dead, their brother is serving in India, and now their sole benefactor has died, leaving them at the mercy of their cold-hearted cousin. They have a choice: marry by the end of the year, or become destitute. The only sanctuary Lily can find from this tumult is the wild Yorkshire moor—and a secret garden. A garden that hasn't been opened in a century, on the grounds of nearby Misselthwaite Manor. And on the day of a terrible storm, a mishap in that garden suddenly brings Lily to the doorstep of the manor, and draws a chance meeting with the terrifying master of the house—whom no one has ever seen.
