Maison d'édition: Velvet Ink Press
Synopsis
Duke Sebastian Trevelyan is London’s most infamous rake—charming, scandalous, and utterly untouchable. His final wager should’ve been simple: seduce the next debutante and walk away with his pride intact. But when his path collides with Lady Eliza Fairborne, a sharp-tongued beauty with no patience for games, the rules begin to blur. Eliza has spent her life caged by expectations. What she craves is freedom—not the kind granted by polite society, but the kind whispered in secret libraries and stolen glances. Sebastian offers temptation wrapped in charm, but behind his wicked grin lies a man haunted by legacy and shame. As their flirtation turns to fire, and desire threatens to unravel them both, they must decide if love is worth the cost of reputation, freedom, and forgiveness. But when betrayal surfaces and the world watches with knives drawn, the question becomes not just whether they can trust each other… But whether they’ll survive the scandal they set in motion. Will a notorious rake and a rebellious debutante risk everything to rewrite their fates—or was this final game doomed from the very start? *** This novel is part of SINS OF THE CENTURIES, an interconnected collection of standalone historical romances where passion burns across the ages. They were warriors and rogues, kings and killers—men born of blood, battle, and forbidden fire. Across shattered empires, storm-lashed highlands, and velvet-draped chambers, they took what they wanted… until desire struck back. Bound by duty, driven by lust, and haunted by the sins of their time, these men meet the one woman who will ignite a passion fierce enough to defy history. SINS OF THE CENTURIES is a searing journey through the dark and decadent edges of romance, where love is war, trust is a gamble, and surrender is the most dangerous sin of all. From captured brides to defiant ladies, pirate queens to rebel warriors, each heroine matches her hero in fire and fury. Together, they carve out love stories too bold to be forgotten—and too hot to be forgiven. Every era holds a secret. Every legacy hides a temptation. In a world of blades and betrayals, these lovers risk everything to taste what should never be theirs. If you hunger for dominant men with steel in their hands and shadows in their pasts—and heroines who refuse to kneel—step into the heat. Because history remembers power. But passion? Passion leaves scars.
