A London debutante must adapt to a life of manual labor and unexpected romance when her family faces financial ruin. Isabella Carrington's privileged existence shatters when her father's bankruptcy forces her to leave her London home for a violet farm in Devon, a place she's never known. Her uncle's expectation that she work for her keep—packing flowers and selling them at market—is a stark contrast to her former life. Amidst the unfamiliar demands and the scent of violets, Isabella finds herself drawn to Felix Furneaux, a handsome local farmer, challenging her preconceived notions of happiness and social standing.
