The Secret Language of Flowers - E-book - ePub

Comhghall Harrington is a bookseller who is infatuated with his regular customer, Lady Laure Charmante. Due to their radically different social stations as well as Laure's marital status, Comhghall and Laure can never, ever be together.  However, Lady Laure Charmante is no stranger to razing decorum or soliciting vice. Her passions for Comhghall run deep, and she very much wants to pursue a physical and intellectual relationship with him at all costs.
To this end, she purchases a series of texts from him regarding floriography, the secret language of flowers, in an attempt to seduce him. However, when a plague strikes the land, the two of them are separated and must communicate through writen and floral messages only. Lady Laure Charmante opens herself to him completely, admitting a deep longing for him by way of a floral bouquet. When he responds in kind, she invites him to her annual Halloween salon, hoping to make good on her proposal.
When he responds in the affirmative, she is thrilled, but however will she get the poor man from Hibernia to drop his guard and his social pretenses and give into the lust that she knows he feels for her?
