Garden of Dreams Rice, Patricia

**Garden of Dreams** by Patricia Rice - A Romance That Actually Makes Sense

This preloved beauty from Patina Paperbacks delivers everything you want from a proper romance novel without the eye-rolling nonsense. When landscape designer Maya inherits her grandmother's neglected estate, she's determined to restore its legendary gardens—until she butts heads with the brooding (but gorgeous, obviously) contractor next door who thinks her plans are completely bonkers.

What follows is a deliciously steamy battle of wills featuring two stubborn people who clearly belong together, exploring themes of family legacy, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it. Patricia Rice knows her way around both swoon-worthy tension and characters with actual personalities.

Perfect for romance readers who appreciate witty banter, gardening enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys watching two people fall in love while arguing about soil composition.
