Search - Duke of Sin

The first few chapters made me think I was wasting my time reading this book but being a person who feels that I have to finish something I started I kept going. Was I ever glad. This is a book with twists and turns and an ending to the conflicts you saw coming but not really.

A disgraced Lady Vivian is hiding in the country, raising flowers to support herself. One of her clients, the rogue Duke of Trent, becomes enamored of her. Evil man tries to blackmail her. A few twists & turns make this one interesting.

First in a new series. She is one of my favorite authors so I really enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down.

Great book!

Loved it!

Fun and sensual book to read.

He is called the "Duke of Sin"

... a notorious rogue and recluse whose reputation is as black as the Cornish night. They speak of his conquests, his past, and his mysteries in breathless whispers. And now lovely and desperate Vivian Rael-Lamont has no choice but to enter William Raleigh's lair.

Vivian prayed that the scandal that drove herfrom London would never be revealed -- but now she will be exposed to the world ... unless William can protect her. She has heard the rumors about the infamous Duke of Sin, yet she is unprepared for the man's raw, sensuous power ... or for the traitorous response of her own body. Surrender, however, could prove most dangerous indeed -- for both of them. For while the duke is intrigued by the guarded, intoxicating lady who has invaded his solitude -- and fully intends to discern her every secret through sweet, unhurried seduction -- it is his own heart that will be imperiled when passion takes them farther than he ever intended.

First book that I have read by the author. Very Good! I am now looking for her others. This book well worth the time to read.

Yummy alphas! Double exposure- he can't get away from horrible rumors that he killed his wife. She is masquerading as a middle class widow, both with interesting hidden sorrows.

This book is the sequel to Someone Irrestible. Vivian wanted fled london to avoid someone finding out about her scandalous past. It is up to the Duke of Sin to protect her.

Funny and charming. I loved it! B+

What a wonderful story teller is Adele Ashworth. This is the story of William Raleigh, a.k.a. Duke of Sin, having been acquitted of murdering his lovely wife, lives a solitary life on his country estate. Respected widow Vivian Rael-Lamont, local florist and grower of orchids, is brought into the lonely duke's sphere because of the machinations of a blackmailer. Both their lives are changed forever. This is such a moving story of their deep, mutual love that can never be .......
No wonder so many members have Ashworth's books "My Darling Caroline" and "Winter Garden" on their wish lists. Ashworth is superb.
Now.....on to the sequel to this one: "Duke of Scandal."

Excellent book, and my first read by this author. First in the Duke of.... trilogy.
