This was a good read, but it took me too long to read because the story would get exciting and go back down to a boring lull. Daphne is the proprietor of the Rarest Blooms flower business. She houses women who need a friend who hold their secrets close and their pasts even closer. Daphne has a few secrets of her own and unfortunately, the Duke of Castleford wants to delve into them all. He peels petal by petal at her passion, her love, and at all of secrets she holds dear. Will her secrets unlock her heart or will it destroy them both?
