Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!

HaBO: Fire at the Theatre

You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!

This HaBO comes from Isabella, who wants to find this historical romance:

The details are hazy but I remember the hero was some kind of gardener but also maybe nobility? And he was rebuilding something akin to Covent Garden or Vaxhall Gardens after a fire. It might even have explicitly been Covent Garden…

There was a scene of him in the garden doing gardenery stuff with his shirt getting soaked through from the rain. I think there was some discussion in the text over the kinds of trees being selecgted for the garden.

I think at the end the theatre gets set on fire again.

I don’t remember much about the heroine but, I think she was either a singer/theatre person or a lady or something along those lines.

Any help would be appreciated! It’s likely to be from the last 20 years, but probably not earlier than that and it’s definitely a historical romance.

Sound familiar?
