The Viscount's Violet

He was meant to be her ruin. Her love became his salvation. Bitter disappointment has marked Miss Eliza Wayland's first season. Overlooked in favor of her vivacious sister, the gaming-hell heiress drowns her sorrows in sour lemonade. Eliza's biting wit masks an unwelcome envy. But when the notorious rake, Lord Sinclair, claims a dance, his charms overwhelm her defenses.

In him, she finds the connection and understanding that she craves. Eliza blooms under his careful attention, but her parents only search for thorns. Benedict, Lord Sinclair's, arrival in London was no coincidence. Vengeance drives him. Either of the Wayland girls will suit his purpose, but Eliza is an easy choice.

Her life of luxury was built atop the ruins of the Sinclair name. Honor compels him to reclaim what her father stole, and repay the humiliation in kind. But as he works to tear down the walls surrounding Eliza's heart, he finds some of his own crumbling alongside them.

Despite the inconvenient discovery of a conscience, Benedict forges ahead-there is no alternative. Nothing less than ransom and ruin will satisfy his father's bloodlust. To fulfill his duty, he'll have to destroy Eliza, but he may destroy himself in the process.

When the sins of the father refuse to stay buried, deception and desire collide in this riveting introduction to Ally Hudson's Hell's Heiresses series. Passionate and Dangerous, The Viscount's Violet wages a seductive battle between retribution and forgiveness.
