  Rosalind Harper was fulfilled, Stella was sure. A beautiful ancestral home, a thriving business. What was it like, she wondered, to wake up every morning knowing exactly where you belonged and where you were going?

  If she could earn one thing for herself, and give that gift to her children, it would be the sense of knowing. She was afraid she'd lost any clear sight of that with Kevin's death. The sense of doing, no problem. Give her a task or a challenge and the room to accomplish or solve it, she was your girl.

  But the sense of knowing who she was, in the heart of herself, had been mangled that day in September of 2001 and had never fully healed.

  This was her start, this move back to Tennessee. This final and face-to-face interview with Rosalind Harper. If she didn't get the job—well, she'd get another. No one could accuse her of not knowing how

  to work or how to provide a living for herself and her kids.

  But, God, she wanted this job.

  She straightened her shoulders and tried to ignore all the whispers of doubt muttering inside her head. She'd get this one.

  She'd dressed carefully for this meeting. Businesslike but not fussy, in a navy suit and starched white blouse. Good shoes, good bag, she thought. Simple jewelry. Nothing flashy. Subtle makeup, to bring

  out the blue of her eyes. She'd fought her hair into a clip at the nape of her neck. If she was lucky, the curling mass of it wouldn't spring out until the interview was over.

  Rosalind was keeping her waiting. It was probably a mind game, Stella decided as her fingers twisted, untwisted her watchband. Letting her sit and stew in the gorgeous parlor, letting her take in the lovely antiques and paintings, the sumptuous view from the front windows.

  All in that dreamy and gracious southern style that reminded her she was a Yankee fish out of water.

  Things moved slower down here, she reminded herself. She would have to remember that this was a different pace from the one she was used to, and a different culture.

  The fireplace was probably an Adams, she decided. That lamp was certainly an original Tiffany. Would they call those drapes portieres down here, or was that too Scarlett O'Hara? Were the lace panels under the drapes heirlooms?

  God, had she ever been more out of her element? What was a middle-class widow from Michigan doing in all this southern splendor?

  She steadied herself, fixed a neutral expression on her face, when she heard footsteps coming down the hall.

  "Brought coffee." It wasn't Rosalind, but the cheerful man who'd answered the door and escorted Stella to the parlor.

  He was about thirty, she judged, average height, very slim. He wore his glossy brown hair waved around a movie-poster face set off by sparkling blue eyes. Though he wore black, Stella found nothing butlerlike about it. Much too artsy, too stylish. He'd said his name was David.

  He set the tray with its china pot and cups, the little linen napkins, the sugar and cream, and the tiny vase with its clutch of violets on the coffee table.

  "Roz got a bit hung up, but she'll be right along, so you just relax and enjoy your coffee. You comfortable in here?"

  "Yes, very."

  "Anything else I can get you while you're waiting on her?"

  "No. Thanks."

  "You just settle on in, then," he ordered, and poured coffee into a cup. "Nothing like a fire in January, is there? Makes you forget that a few months ago it was hot enough to melt the skin off your bones. What do you take in your coffee, honey?"

  She wasn't used to being called "honey" by strange men who served her coffee in magnificent parlors. Especially since she suspected he was a few years her junior.

  "Just a little cream." She had to order herself not to stare at his face—it was, well, delicious, with that full

  mouth, those sapphire eyes, the strong cheekbones, the sexy little dent in the chin. "Have you worked for Ms. Harper long?"

  "Forever." He smiled charmingly and handed her the coffee. "Or it seems like it, in the best of all possible ways. Give her a straight answer to a straight question, and don't take any bullshit." His grin widened. "She hates it when people kowtow. You know, honey, I love your hair."

  "Oh." Automatically, she lifted a hand to it. "Thanks."

  'Titian knew what he was doing when he painted that color. Good luck with Roz," he said as he started out. "Great shoes, by the way."

  She sighed into her coffee. He'd noticed her hair and her shoes, complimented her on both. Gay. Too

  bad for her side.

  It was good coffee, and David was right. It was nice having a fire in January. Outside, the air was moist and raw, with a broody sky overhead. A woman could get used to a winter hour by the fire drinking good coffee out of— what was it? Meissen, Wedgwood? Curious, she held the cup up to read the maker's mark.

  "It's Staffordshire, brought over by one of the Harper brides from England in the mid-nineteenth century."

  No point in cursing herself, Stella thought. No point in cringing about the fact that her redhead's complexion would be flushed with embarrassment. She simply lowered the cup and looked Rosalind Harper straight in the eye.

  "It's beautiful."

  "I've always thought so." She came in, plopped down in the chair beside Stella's, and poured herself a cup.

  One of them, Stella realized, had miscalculated the dress code for the interview.

  Rosalind had dressed her tall, willowy form in a baggy olive sweater and mud-colored work pants that were frayed at the cuffs. She was shoeless, with a pair of thick brown socks covering long, narrow feet. Which accounted, Stella supposed, for her silent entry into the room.

  Her hair was short, straight, and black.

  Though to date all their communications had been via phone, fax, or e-mail, Stella had Googled her.

  She'd wanted background on her potential employer—and a look at the woman.

  Newspaper and magazine clippings had been plentiful. She'd studied Rosalind as a child, through her youth. She'd marveled over the file photos of the stunning and delicate bride of eighteen and sympathized with the pale, stoic-looking widow of twenty-five.

  There had been more, of course. Society-page stuff, gossipy speculation on when and if the widow would marry again. Then quite a bit of press surrounding the forging of the nursery business, her gardens, her love life. Her brief second marriage and divorce.

  Stella's image had been of a strong-minded, shrewd woman. But she'd attributed those stunning looks to camera angles, lighting, makeup.

  She'd been wrong.

  At forty-six, Rosalind Harper was a rose in full bloom. Not the hothouse sort, Stella mused, but one that weathered the elements, season after season, and came back, year after year, stronger and more beautiful.

  She had a narrow face angled with strong bones and deep, long eyes the color of single-malt scotch. Her mouth, full, strongly sculpted lips, was unpainted—as, to Stella's expert eye, was the rest of that lovely face.

  There were lines, those thin grooves that the god of time reveled in stamping, fanning out from the corners of the dark eyes, but they didn't detract.

  All Stella could think was, Could I be you, please, when I grow up? Only I'd like to dress better, if you don't mind.

  "Kept you waiting, didn't I?"

  Straight answers, Stella reminded herself. "A little, but it's not much of a hardship to sit in this room and drink good coffee out of Staffordshire."

  "David likes to fuss. I was in the propagation house, got caught up."

  Her voice, Stella thought, was brisk. Not clipped—you just couldn't clip Tennessee—but it was to the point and full of energy. "You look younger than I expected. You're what, thirty-three?"

  "Yes."

  "And your sons are ... six and eight?"

  "That's right."

  "You didn't bring them with you?"

  "No. They're with my father and his wife right now."

  "I'm very fond of Will and Jolene. How are they?"

  "They're good. They're enjoying having t
heir grandchildren around."

  "I imagine so. Your daddy shows off pictures of them from time to time and just about bursts with pride."

  "One of my reasons for relocating here is so they can have more time together."

  "It's a good reason. I like young boys myself. Miss having them around. The fact that you come with

  two played in your favor. Your resume, your father's recommendation, the letter from your former employer—well, none of that hurt."

  She picked up a cookie from the tray, bit in, without her eyes ever leaving Stella's face. "I need an organizer, someone creative and hardworking, personable and basically tireless. I like people who work for me to keep up with me, and I set a strong pace."

  "So I've been told." Okay, Stella thought, brisk and to the point in return. "I have a degree in nursery management. With the exception of three years when I stayed home to have my children—and during which time I landscaped my own yard and two neighbors'—I've worked in that capacity. For more than two years now, since my husband's death, I've raised my sons and worked outside the home in my field. I've done a good job with both. I can keep up with you, Ms. Harper. I can keep up with anyone."

  Maybe, Roz thought. Just maybe. "Let me see your hands."

  A little irked, Stella held them out. Roz set down her coffee, took them in hers. She turned them palms up, ran her thumbs over them. "You know how to work."

  "Yes, I do."

  "Banker suit threw me off. Not that it isn't a lovely suit." Roz smiled, then polished off the cookie. "It's been damp the last couple of days. Let's see if we can put you in some boots so you don't ruin those

  very pretty shoes. I'll show you around."

  * * *

  The boots were too big, and the army-green rubber hardly flattering, but the damp ground and crushed gravel would have been cruel to her new shoes.

  Her own appearance hardly mattered when compared with the operation Rosalind Harper had built.

  In the Garden spread over the west side of the estate. The garden center faced the road, and the grounds at its entrance and running along the sides of its parking area were beautifully landscaped. Even in January, Stella could see the care and creativity put into the presentation with the selection and placement of evergreens and ornamental trees, the mulched rises where she assumed there would be color from bulbs and perennials, from splashy annuals through the spring and summer and into fall.

  After one look she didn't want the job. She was desperate for it. The lust tied knots of nerves and desire in her belly, the kinds that were usually reserved for a lover.

  "I didn't want the retail end of this near the house," Roz said as she parked the truck. "I didn't want to

  see commerce out my parlor window. Harpers are, and always have been, business-minded. Even back when some of the land around here was planted with cotton instead of houses."

  Because Stella's mouth was too dry to speak, she only nodded. The main house wasn't visible from here. A wedge of natural woods shielded it from view and kept the long, low outbuildings, the center itself,

  and, she imagined, most of the greenhouses from intruding on any view from Harper House.

  And just look at that gorgeous old ruby horse chestnut!

  "This section's open to the public twelve months a year," Roz continued. "We carry all the sidelines

  you'd expect, along with houseplants and a selection of gardening books. My oldest son's helping me manage this section, though he's happier in the greenhouses or out in the field. We've got two part-time clerks right now. We'll need more in a few weeks."

  Get your head in the game, Stella ordered herself. "Your busy season would start in March in this zone."

  "That's right." Roz led the way to the low-slung white building, up an asphalt ramp, across a spotlessly clean porch, and inside.

  Two long, wide counters on either side of the door, Stella noted. Plenty of light to keep it cheerful.

  There were shelves stocked with soil additives, plant foods, pesticides, spin racks of seeds. More shelves held books or colorful pots suitable for herbs or windowsill plants. There were displays of wind chimes, garden plaques, and other accessories.

  A woman with snowy white hair dusted a display of sun catchers. She wore a pale blue cardigan with roses embroidered down the front over a white shirt that looked to have been starched stiff as iron.

  "Ruby, this is Stella Rothchild. I'm showing her around."

  "Pleased to meet you."

  The calculating look told Stella the woman knew she was in about the job opening, but the smile was perfectly cordial. "You're Will Dooley's daughter, aren't you?"

  "Yes, that's right."

  "From... up north."

  She said it, to Stella's amusement, as if it were a Third World country of dubious repute. "From Michigan, yes. But I was born in Memphis."

  "Is that so?" The smile warmed, fractionally. "Well, that's something, isn't it? Moved away when you were a little girl, didn't you?"

  "Yes, with my mother."

  "Thinking about moving back now, are you?"

  "I have moved back," Stella corrected.

  "Well." The one word said they'd see what they'd see. "It's a raw one out there today," Ruby continued. "Good day to be inside. You just look around all you want."

  'Thanks. There's hardly anywhere I'd rather be than inside a nursery."

  "You picked a winner here. Roz, Marilee Booker was in and bought the dendrobium. I just couldn't talk her out of it."

  "Well, shit. It'll be dead in a week."

  "Dendrobiums are fairly easy care," Stella pointed out.

  "Not for Marilee. She doesn't have a black thumb. Her whole arm's black to the elbow. That woman should be barred by law from having anything living within ten feet of her."

  "I'm sorry, Roz. But I did make her promise to bring it back if it starts to look sickly."

  "Not your fault." Roz waved it away, then moved through a wide opening. Here were the houseplants, from the exotic to the classic, and pots from thimble size to those with a girth as wide as a manhole

  cover. There were more accessories, too, like stepping-stones, trellises, arbor kits, garden fountains,

  and benches.

  "I expect my staff to know a little bit about everything," Roz said as they walked through. "And if they don't know the answer, they need to know how to find it. We're not big, not compared to some of the wholesale nurseries or the landscaping outfits. We're not priced like the garden centers at the discount stores. So we concentrate on offering the unusual plants along with the basic, and customer service.

  We make house calls."

  "Do you have someone specific on staff who'll go do an on-site consult?"

  "Either Harper or I might go if you're talking about a customer who's having trouble with something bought here. Or if they just want some casual, personal advice."

  She slid her hands into her pockets, rocked back and forth on the heels of her muddy boots. "Other than that, I've got a landscape designer. Had to pay him a fortune to steal him away from a competitor. Had

  to give him damn near free rein, too. But he's the best. I want to expand that end of the business."

  "What's your mission statement?"

  Roz turned, her eyebrows lifted high. There was a quick twinkle of amusement in those shrewd eyes. "Now, there you are—that's just why I need someone like you. Someone who can say 'mission statement' with a straight face. Let me think."

  With her hands on her hips now, she looked around the stocked area, then opened wide glass doors into the adjoining greenhouse. "I guess it's two-pronged—this is where we stock most of our annuals and hanging baskets starting in March, by the way. First prong would be to serve the home gardener. From the fledgling who's just dipping a toe in to the more experienced who knows what he or she wants and is willing to try something new or unusual. To give that customer base good stock, good service, good advice. Second would be to serve the customer who's got the money but not t
he time or the inclination to dig in the dirt. The one who wants to beautify but either doesn't know where to start or doesn't want the job. We'll go in, and for a fee we'll work up a design, get the plants, hire the laborers. We'll guarantee satisfaction."

  "All right." Stella studied the long, rolling tables, the sprinkler heads of the irrigation system, the drains in the sloping concrete floor.

  "When the season starts we have tables of annuals and perennials along the side of this building. They'll show from the front as people drive by, or in. We've got a shaded area for ones that need shade," she continued as she walked through, boots slapping on concrete. "Over here we keep our herbs, and through there's a storeroom for extra pots and plastic flats, tags. Now, out back here's greenhouses for stock plants, seedlings, preparation areas. Those two will open to the public, more annuals sold by the flat."

  She crunched along gravel, over more asphalt. Shrubs and ornamental trees. She gestured toward an

  area on the side where the stock wintering over was screened. "Behind that, closed to the public, are

  the propagation and grafting areas. We do mostly container planting, but I've culled out an acre or so

  for field stock. Water's no problem with the pond back there."

  They continued to walk, with Stella calculating, dissecting. And the lust in her belly had gone from

  tangled knot to rock-hard ball.

  She could do something here. Make her mark over the excellent foundation another woman had built.

  She could help improve, expand, refine.

  Fulfilled? she thought. Challenged? Hell, she'd be so busy, she'd be fulfilled and challenged every minute of every day.

  It was perfect.

  There were the white scoop-shaped greenhouses, work-tables, display tables, awnings, screens, sprinklers. Stella saw it brimming with plants, thronged with customers. Smelling of growth and possibilities.

  Then Roz opened the door to the propagation house, and Stella let out a sound, just a quiet one she couldn't hold back. And it was pleasure.

  The smell of earth and growing things, the damp heat. The air was close, and she knew her hair would frizz out insanely, but she stepped inside.
