About this episode

Daphne Laurel discovers her magical connection to a botanical garden and its caretaker in Connecticut.

Daphne Laurel arrives in Connecticut to claim her inheritance: a sprawling botanical garden, a quaint cottage, and apparently a magical gift she didn't know she had. Within hours of stepping into the greenhouse, she's overwhelmed by a strange awareness—she can feel what the plants feel. And in May, what they feel is want.The handsome caretaker isn't helping. Neither is the vine that trips her directly into his arms, triggering a bloom cascade that makes her attraction embarrassingly visible.Her aunt's notes make the situation clear: the garden wants an heir. It's been waiting. And it's chosen the gardener as its candidate.Daphne should definitely leave. She's going to stay anyway. Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
