Garden of Dreams: A Sweet and Clean Regency Romance

By Daphne Bloom

When love blooms across the divide of prejudice, can two hearts overcome the weight of the past?

Lady Priya Gordon has spent her life caught between two worlds-the daughter of a British Duke and an Indian princess, she's never fully accepted by English society despite her noble birth. Determined to honor her beloved mother's memory, Priya seeks to create a "Jewels of India" glasshouse at Kew Gardens, featuring the jasmine flowers her mother cherished. But the garden's wealthy patrons view her heritage as a stain rather than a treasure.

Frederick Elliot, Earl of Harewood, finds solace in Kew Gardens-the one place where memories of his mother don't haunt him. When his father suddenly returns from India with a new wife and stepdaughters, Frederick's carefully ordered world crumbles. The last thing he wants is another reminder of the subcontinent that claimed his mother's life, especially from a woman whose very existence challenges everything he thought he believed about duty, family, and belonging.

Their first meeting is a disaster of prejudice and pride. But when Frederick witnesses the grace with which Priya faces society's cruelty-and realizes his own role in perpetuating it-he begins to see past his pain to the remarkable woman before him. As Priya fights for her mother's legacy and Frederick confronts the truth about his father's past, they discover that the healing they both seek might be found in the most unexpected place: each other's arms.

In a world determined to keep them apart, can love prove stronger than prejudice?

A stirring Regency romance about second chances, cultural heritage, and the courage to love across society's boundaries. The second standalone novel in the Garden of Love series, where hearts heal and love blooms in the most beautiful gardens.
