Creatures of Habit - Paperback

by Charlotte Brothers (Author)

"Oh no," thought Eugenia, "It must be that he had returned."

Can unconventional Eugenia Merritt and Lieutenant Lawrence Trellaway stand against their well-meaning parents' matchmaking attempts?

All Lawrie wants when he arrives home after wartime service is to return to his gardening and peaceful country life; a life without taking orders. Instead, he finds his parents are as determined as ever to push him at their neighbours' daughter, Eugenia, whom he remembers as a bossy girl with a penchant for rescuing injured animals.

Eugenia is a creature of habit, determined to keep her life the way it is. She likes her independence, her farm and her flowers. Besides, Lawrie had been such an ordinary boy...

Will the attentions of a dashing visitor thwart their parents' schemes or will Lawrie and Eugenia discover love can bloom where it was planted?
