Collecting Thoughts

Darcy's husband, Patrick-le-Pew, turned out to be a right stinker. He casually announced over dinner one evening that he was leaving her for one of their dinner guests. Needless to say, the dinner was ruined.
Oblivious to her rival sitting at her own dining table, Darcy didn't see it coming.
Now the husband is an ex- and Darcy is left to pick up the pieces.
She packs up her life and her two children, leaving London for rural France and Normandy; and a job designing a new garden for an old chateau not far from the historic city of Rouen, thinking this will be a golden opportunity to collect her thoughts before she moves on to something more permanent. But Life, like even the best of designs, seldom goes precisely to plan and Darcy discovers that unexpected opportunities and complications arrive in the form of the chateau's straight-shooting owner and local bad boy made good, Gabriel Dubois.
