“Do not mistake my politeness for fear, Your Grace. I will not be tamed.”
Marianne Whitcombe has no patience for arrogant noblemen—or the rules meant to keep women silent and small.
But when she meets Adrian Blackwell, the scarred Duke of Harrowmere, across a crowded opera house, something dangerous sparks alive between them.
He is everything society whispers
Brooding. Untouchable. Ruined by violence and betrayal.
A man no debutante with sense should desire.
Marianne has never possessed much sense.
Every encounter leaves them burning.
A stolen moment in a shadowed garden.
A brush of fingers that feels like a vow.
A whispered dare that makes his control snap.
Adrian warns her about wolves.
He hunts her like one.
And Marianne refuses to behave like prey.
But when gossip turns vicious and an old enemy sets his sights on her reputation, Adrian faces a truth he can no longer
He would destroy London brick by brick before allowing anyone to harm the woman who defies him…
and the woman he cannot let go.
