I rated this book B+ Hot = A 34-year-old widow, Mrs. Vivian Rael-Lamont lives a calm and satisfying life in a quiet Cornwall village lovingly tending to the flowers with which she makes her living. She is blackmailed into agreeing to "acquire" an original manuscript of a Shakespearean sonnet from its owner.
The owner of the sonnet is, of course, none other than William Raleigh, Duke of Trent, Earl of Shreveport and Kayes, Baron Chesterfield. The reclusive, mysterious Duke - known far and wide as the Duke of Sin - is widely thought to have murdered his wife several years earlier, a belief seemingly unaffected by the fact that he was found innocent of the crime at trial.
The story is a page turner and the sex is hot.
