Miss Daphne Harland is desperate. Trapped by mounting debts and a father intent on marrying her off to a man three times her age, she sees only one way out: a public scandal. When she encounters London’s most infamous rogue, Dominic Hawke, she orchestrates a daring kiss to ruin her reputation and shatter her father’s plans. However, Daphne is playing with fire. Dominic isn’t a savior; he is a man fueled by a singular, cold-blooded need for revenge against her family. Dominic intends to use the scandal to force a duel and finally settle a long-standing score regarding his mother’s tragic past. Yet, as their paths entwine, his calculated plan begins to unravel. He finds himself captivated by Daphne’s unexpected wit and fiery spirit, sparking a dangerous, undeniable chemistry that complicates his quest for vengeance. With their reputations in ruins and society’s eyes fixed upon them, Daphne is forced to seek sanctuary at Shadowmere, Dominic’s brooding and mysterious country estate. Bound by a classic enemies-to-lovers tension, the two must navigate a web of dark secrets and shifting loyalties. In a house where nothing is as it seems, they discover that their greatest threat might not be the past, but the uncontrollable passion growing between them.
