A Dark Historical Romance
Book Description:
In a world ruled by power, bloodlines, and brutal desire, Lilith Everleigh, the obedient daughter of a nobleman-until a fateful encounter with Salvatore Duskewood, the ruthless and enigmatic Marquess with a reputation steeped in shadow.
When Lilith is forced into a calculated courtship meant to seal an alliance between their families, she finds herself at the mercy of a man who plays by no rules but his own. Their relationship begins as a dark dance of dominance and control-her innocence weaponized, her defiance punished, and her pleasure used to bind her. Salvatore is cold, obsessive, and commanding... but beneath the cruelty, something deeper simmers.
And Lilith-clever, sensual, and aching for more than the life she's been given-refuses to remain a pawn.
As secrets unravel and their twisted attraction deepens into an inferno, Lilith awakens to the strength of her body, her voice, and her power. She challenges him, seduces him, and slowly turns the tables, forcing Salvatore to confront the man he's become-and the man he must become to keep her.
But power is never given. It's taken.
From razor-edged punishments to nights of raw surrender, their bond transcends duty, dragging them into a love as dangerous as it is addictive. With a child on the way and their enemies circling, Lilith and Salvatore must face the ultimate test: will they destroy each other in the name of control, or rise together in the name of something far more terrifying-devotion?
