Since her mum's death, Marnie Platt has shut herself away from everyone who cares about her. Worse, her beloved bookshop on Ever After Street is suffering too. With sales down and the shop's garden falling into disrepair, Marnie risks losing the very last thing she loves. Until a chance encounter with her surly and reclusive neighbour.... Dark and brooding, Darcy O'Connell likes to keep himself to himself. But when he hears Marnie needs help, he can't turn his back on her. Soon they are spending most evenings together in her enchanted garden and a friendship starts to bloom... With the help of old and new friends on Ever After Street, Marnie's bookshop begins to thrive again, and with Darcy's kindness, she starts to get her sparkle back too. She just can't understand why Darcy continues to shut himself away - especially from her. Can she convince him it isn't too late to embrace life, and maybe love, again?
