Orchids in Moonlight

A reclusive, emotionally scarred billionaire. A brilliant botanist hired to revive the dead heart of his estate. A contract that was supposed to be about flowers, not feelings.

After a brutal trauma shattered her life, Dr. Sorrel Hollis has learned to find solace only in the soil. She pours her passion into reviving dying things because she is terrified to connect with people. Homeless and at the edge of oblivion, she takes an impossibly lucrative contract to restore the legendary lost gardens of a remote mountain estate, seeing it as her one chance to rebuild her life in quiet solitude.

The owner of the estate, the enigmatic and powerful Kenton Wolcott, is a ghost in his own home. He lives in a glass house overlooking the ruined gardens, a man as broken and isolated as the land he commands. He hired her for her skills, a simple business transaction. He never expected that watching her breathe life back into his world would become his new obsession .

Trapped by the towering walls of the estate and the ghosts of their pasts, their professional arrangement becomes a slow, tentative, and deeply personal dance. Every restored flower bed seems to strip away another layer of her defenses; every moment of shared silence across the gardens chips away at his cold facade.

But as their undeniable, slow-burn passion ignites into a high-steam affair, she is forced to question what is real. Is she just another beautiful project for a broken billionaire to cultivate, or can two people who have forgotten how to trust learn to grow a real love in a garden of secrets?
