Newly divorced Alice Owens stumbles into the love of her life when the mysterious, immortal Green Man appears in her flowerbeds. She is not alarmed by his presence, but is astonished by his unique physical attributes and his extensive knowledge of her personal life. And she's completely distracted by the fact that he's naked.

When a realtor calls to inform her that the beautiful garden she has created on an abandoned lot will likely be sold, Alice is crushed. The Green Man offers to help Alice save her garden. But by casting a magical Web of protection to shield the garden, The Green Man attracts a firestorm of media attention. Alice's two teenage sons take opposite sides of the conflict, while her ex-husband schemes to put an end to her garden and her new romance in the hope of winning her back.

When disaster strikes and all appears to be lost, Alice discovers that the Green Man's love has made her more powerful than she ever imagined. But will Alice risk losing everything she holds dear to save the one man she can't keep?
