De: Amy Simone

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A Battle of Wits and Wills in the Heart of the Ton Lady Seraphina, a fiercely independent apothecary, prefers the company of herbs to that of potential suitors, famously declaring them "overrated." Her cottage, filled with jars of tinctures and a snake skeleton, is her sanctuary, where she meticulously crafts remedies with hands stained green from wormwood.

However, her peaceful existence is threatened when the cunning Lord Blackwood, whom Seraphina aptly calls a "viper," extends a dinner invitation followed by a thinly veiled marriage proposal. Blackwood’s true aim is to control Seraphina and leverage her unparalleled herbal knowledge and financial portfolio, seeing her merely as a "puppet" or "prized mare" to be paraded around. Unwilling to be intimidated or manipulated into submission, Seraphina, with the mischievous encouragement of her friend Trixie, devises a daring plan: to accept Blackwood's proposal on her terms and dismantle his empire from within.

Will Seraphina outmaneuver the venomous Lord Blackwood, or will she become ensnared in his dangerous web? Discover her ingenious defiance in The Viper and The Thyme!
