'Stare that beast down, Jane. Confront it. Risk everything to win everything that matters to you.'
Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to
cover up a sin committed by her sibling. Isolated far from home, she is forced to live an impoverished,
secretive life to save the family public shame.
Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting to building the
family's business empire. As one final quest before succumbing to his duty, he sets out to find a critically
endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting to his friend, the soon-to-coronated George V.
When the paths of these two people from very different worlds collide, Jane begins to hope for a future
filled with joy.
