Unfortunately, she has an uncanny ability to resist his charms. The exquisite widow temps Castleford like no woman has before. What really breaks Castleford out of his ennui, however, is Daphne Joyes, owner of The Rarest Blooms. He’s surprised, however, that one of the properties houses The Rarest Blooms, a place where all of his friends’ wives once lived. Castleford is resigned to taking a closer look at what is so special about the lands in question. That is, until a relative bequeaths him several properties of seemingly no importance. However, now that his friends have made the abominable decision to fall in love and marry, Castleford finds himself bored to tears. The hedonistic duke with a Midas touch spends six days a week drinking, whoring, and other pleasurable pursuits, leaving anything of importance to be dealt with on Tuesdays. The term “rake” is far too tame a descriptor for a man like the Duke of Castleford.
