The Villain
Synopsis
Lady Daphne Fairchild travels alone from London to the wilds of Scotland with one purpose: confront the man who has spent five years methodically destroying the men of her family. Adam Callahan, Earl of Hartmoor, offers her a bargain instead of answers — thirty nights in his bed in exchange for the truth behind his vendetta.
What begins as an act of leverage on his part, and desperation on hers, becomes something neither of them anticipated. As Daphne is drawn deeper into Hartmoor's household and his history, she starts to see the man beneath the revenge, even as his plan for her family's ruin is far from finished.
A dark Regency romance about coercion, obsession, and the uneasy space between hatred and desire, set against the isolation of the Scottish Highlands.
