Archer Stonewell, the Duke of Westmead, lost his wife and son tragically. He now seeks to relieve his guilt by being whipped in a private club in London. His sister is bound and determined that Archer remarry and provide an heir for his title. Archer's sister meets Poppy Cavendish when Constance Poppy to decorate the house for a ball.
Poppy Cavendish is going to lose her business. Her guardian is dying and she is struggling to relocate her growing horticultural business. Archer steps in and guarantees to move her precious plants in exchange for Poppy designing the theme for his sister's ball.
The attraction is instantaneous between Poppy and Archer. When they are placed in a compromising position, Archer offers a marriage of convenience. As they settle into their marriage and get to truly know each other better, they discover the start of love.
When Poppy discovers her husband's secret, Archer fears that the marriage is over. What he doesn't anticipate is Poppy's acceptance of his secret.
Fair warning - this is historical BDSM erotica where the male is the submissive.
I picked up this book from NetGalley because I was intrigued by the description. I have read some historical erotica, but never like this! I loved the book. It seemed to move slowly at the beginning where the Poppy and Archer are trying to figure each other out, but then, the book just flew by.
The book was so well written. I enjoyed the character development of Poppy and Archer. I loved how they became friends before Archer realized he loved Poppy. This was an amazing book and I can't wait for the next in the series.
I received a complimentary ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
