How far would you go to set yourself free?
Drake Blackwell is successful, controlling, and hiding a violent family
past. He just made his latest investment: Noriko.
Imported from Japan, alone, and wed to a stranger, Noriko struggles to
stick to the Rules of a Good Wife. Drake can’t seem to love her, not the way
she wants to be loved. She dreams of freedom beyond the gates of Blackwell
Manor.
She meets Keir, a passionate young gardener who shares her desire to break
free. He gets under her skin and ignites a fire in her she has never felt
before. In the midst of her quiet desperation she thinks she has found
happiness. And a glimpse of hope.
But this affair can't last...can it?
Although part of a series, this is a standalone novel with no cliffhanger.
WARNING: For ages +18. There are scenes in this novel that infer or allude

My 5 Star review
First off thank you
Hanna Peach for reaching out to me and wanting me to read this book. I have to
say that this book was written perfectly. Your attention to details is crazy
amazing. I now in fact want to go to Japan and I wish I could see Mr. Blackwell’s
garden. The way you described it was pure Perfection!
Noriko is a young
woman who had to make a very hard decision but she did it with her family in
mind. She had to grow up really fast and become a completely different
woman...But that isn't who she really is. She partially lived two different
lives. She is headstrong, feisty, smart, beautiful, and very fierce.
Drake Blackwell is a
very successful man who can anyone he wants but he chooses Noriko out of tons
of woman that can and will make the perfect wife. Little did he know that he
was getting way more...?
Ok....I am going to
stop right there. I am trying really hard not to spoil this book, so here
goes...This book is bittersweet. I without a doubt loved this book, hell I was
bragging about it to my friends. Out of every character in this book I have to
say that I fell head over heels for Drake. To me in my opinion this book is all
about him in a weird strange way, since we really didn't get to know him. The
real him. He is a lost soul just begging for someone to save him and in a
bittersweet way, his soul did get saved....so to speak.
Once you read this
book and get to the end everything will make complete since.... I will not lie,
I may have cursed the author for just a moment but that was because...well I
can't tell you that part now can I.
Happy reading!
