Her duty is to serve her King and her future was scripted long ago--marry a male Guardian and strengthen the bloodline of the next generation.

Tate is a Prince whose heart is as kind as River's is strong. He'd rather protect the vulnerable and care for his reclusive sister than rule a kingdom. But he knows the time has come for him to step up. Marrying without love isn't something he wishes for either, but he has no choice if he's to take the throne and ensure the kingdom will live in peace. But someone else has their eye on the throne... Someone who knows all about the tonics that are the key to the Guardians' strength, and he'll stop at nothing to bring the kingdom down so he can rule them all. Setting out on a path of destruction, he makes a cunning plan to marry the Princess and remove anyone standing in his way. River and Prince Tate must work together as team to save the kingdom. As Guardians mysteriously die, boundaries are pushed and the threat of an invasion looms, they'll discover if their marriage is built on more than just convenience. Is it possible that it's also built on love?

This smart, passionate novel deserves a wide audience.” –Los Angeles Times “What drives the novel is its chorus of characters, all, in their own way, witnesses and guardian angels.

Book Description
Garden hopping was when you leapt through a line of people's gardens in the dead of night. Only a few boys did it. The air rushed through you. You were like a phantom. You could have been anyone. It is an apt metaphor for the adoption business. Jonathan Rendall was adopted in the 1960s when it was easy. People could just pick out the children they wanted, right down to the colour of their hair. But what of the children themselves? And what happens when years later they trace their real parents? Garden Hopping is a harrowing, and often shocking, journey into the dark night of identity.
