Viviane de Faitaud has always been alone at her family's chateau; her father, the Marquis de Valaine, lives far away at the court of Louis XVI in Versailles.
After a hailstorm destroys the chateau's orchards, gardens and fields, an ambitious young Welshman accepts a commission to plan new gardens in the hope of making his name as a landscape designer. Before long, he and Viviane’s hearts are entwined.
However, the love that blossoms between them is doomed: Viviane is betrothed to a duke, and David is forced to leave the family property.
Can he and Viviane - a world apart - ever hope to rekindle what they had together?
