The Man in Green — Elizabeth Coldwell

Sealing the deal to buy Ashgrove Hall is Richard Harmison's proudest moment. He aims to turn the dilapidated stately home into a modern hotel and leisure complex, but there's one stumbling block - the grove of ash trees surrounding the house. Richard wants to chop down the trees, but he hasn't reckoned with sexy stranger Jay, who's very protective of them. Who is Jay, and how does he tie into an old legend surrounding these ancient woods? Can he and Richard reach an understanding, in bed and out of it?
