Plot Summary of Legendary Lover
"In this entry in the St John-Duras series we meet Venus Duras, daughter of Pasha Duras (in A Touch of Sin). Hot & explosive would be too mild to describe the chemistry between Venus & Jack Fitz-James, the Marquis of Redvers. She is completely refreshing to him, with her unapologetic independence and completely uninhibited sexuality. It takes both of them awhile to realize it isn't just sexual chemistry that is making both of them lose control so uncharacteristically."
Kim Mills, Resident Scholar
