Nadia Knows Best (2012)
“Wiping her hands on her jeans and straightening up, Nadia surveyed the border she had just planted with mahonia, nicotiana, and mignonette. (How she loved those names; they sounded like a troupe of can-can dancers at the Moulin Rouge.) Behind them, Himalayan honeysuckle covered the stone wall. She still had boxes of Hidcote lavender waiting to go in, then a serious amount of watering to do if the plants weren’t about to keel over and die in the current heat wave.

“Looking good.” Jay, who had just rolled up, greeted her in the kitchen.
Aware that she was hot and sweaty and streaked with soil, Nadia said, “Hardly, I’m a mess.”
“I meant the garden.”
Oops. Serves me right.
“Tea?” Jay grinned to soften the blow. He filled the kettle and switched it on, then watched Nadia scrub her hands in the sink.MoreLess
