Originally published in the anthology "These Boots Were Made for Strutting" by Dorchester Publishing, 2008.


Landscaper Kelsey knows everything about weeds, snails, and organic gardening, but nothing about how to turn her own bedraggled self into a blooming flower of loveliness. When she takes on the job of landscaping the yard of handsome, overworked Jack, however, she finds the motivation to try.

It’ll take a magical pair of shoes and a double identity to do it, but Kelsey is determined to find not only the rose within herself, but a man with whom to share her own garden of paradise.
