"They call him the Beast of Briarhallow.
She is the one woman who dares to look at him twice."

War left the Duke of Briarhallow scarred in body and soul, feared by society and determined to keep it that way. Solitude is his armor. Control is his salvation.

Until Juliette Morin enters his household.

Sharp-tongued, fearless, and far too observant, Juliette was meant to remain invisible beneath his roof. Instead, she becomes the one presence he cannot ignore, or resist.

Every glance lingers too long.
Every accidental touch burns.
And every rule he lives by begins to fracture beneath his restraint.

Juliette does not flinch from his scars. She does not fear the darkness he carries.
She sees the man beneath the beast, and awakens a desire he has sworn never to claim.

But to surrender to her would mean risking everything.
Reputation. Control. Even his heart.

A steamy Regency romance filled with forbidden attraction, a brooding scarred duke, slow-burn tension, and a love that demands to be taken, not denied.

Perfect for readers who love emotionally scarred heroes, forced proximity, and passionate historical romance with heart.
