Daphne has heard countless scandalous stories about Tristan, and when he comes to introduce himself as her new landlord, she knows she’s in trouble. Straight away, Tristan wants her in his bed and he is a master at getting what he wants. (Tristan, once he sees how alluring she is, suspects his friends and their wives deliberately kept her out of his sight.) Their paths finally cross when Tristan inherits the land and the buildings that house The Rarest Blooms. Tristan’s closest cohorts are married to Daphne’s closest friends, yet the two have never actually met. Tristan’s sober, sex-free Tuesdays are the days he applies his intelligence and energy to whatever interests him: Managing his investments, advising the Prime Minister, meddling in the lives of his friends (something he did to great success in other Rarest Blooms books), or masterfully seducing the guarded and aloof Mrs. Tristan is a splendid character - a smart as hell duke who spends all his days drinking and whoring - all days, that is, but Tuesdays.
This fourth and last of Madeline Hunter’s Rarest Blooms series, tells the tale of Tristan, the Duke of Castleford, and Daphne Joyes, the proprietor of The Rarest Blooms, an unusual nursery.
