Abscission — Ruby Loren

Lydia's new found love is already off to a rocky start. When her mother gives her an ultimatum â€" get a proper job, or work as a checkout girl forever â€" Lydia realises her time at Heathley could already be at an end. Everything rests on a single job interview, and she's not the only contender! An old enemy is ready to do all he can to make her slip up and a ridiculously competent stranger seems sure to clinch the gardening role.

But someone isn't willing to let the job go without a fight and they're already planning their revenge on Heathley…

Are Lydia's green fingers enough to save her?
