What to expect
Feared. Ruthless. Unforgivable.
August Archdale, Earl of Culross, has earned every dark whisper attached to his name.
Stopping Meghan Smith's wedding is not cruelty—it is necessity. Her family's rising shipping dynasty will ruin him, and the Earl of Culross does not lose. Not his power. Not his empire. Not even his soul.
Yet Meghan refuses to break.
Where he expects terror, she gives defiance. Where he demands submission, she offers fire. And when her tears finally fall, they mark the moment August realizes the truth:
She is no longer his leverage—She is his undoing.
Desire ignites amid storms and scandal, blurring the line between vengeance and obsession. And the man who embraced the role of villain will learn too late that loving her is the most dangerous revenge of all.
