About this ebook

 The Damsel (Standalone sequel to the Villain Duology)

A captivating tale of healing, redemption, and unexpected passion...

A Man Heartbroken

The Honourable Mr. Robert Stanley is drowning in sorrow after losing the woman he loves. Seeking solace in a tavern, he encounters Lady Cassandra Lane, whose scandalous proposition promises distraction: one night spent completely under her control. Desperate to forget his pain, Robert eagerly surrenders himself to Cassandra’s dominance, unaware that this single night will alter his life forever.

A Woman in Turmoil

Lady Cassandra Lane exists in a constant storm of rage and betrayal. Ruined and cast aside by society after a brutal assault, Cassandra battles anxiety and fear, determined to reclaim control of her own body and desires. Choosing Robert Stanley as a means to an end, she expects nothing beyond one night to conquer her fears. Yet, she is unprepared for the powerful craving their encounter ignites.

A Dangerous Obsession

Unable to resist Cassandra’s commanding presence, Robert is drawn to her troubled spirit and mysterious secrets. He longs to soothe her pain, despite her relentless attempts to push him away. As he peels back the layers of Cassandra’s hidden suffering, Robert discovers dangers lurking in the shadows—secrets so perilous they could cost Cassandra her life. She doesn't need a hero ... but if she'd let him, he might just be her saving grace.

Warning: The Damsel delves deeply into sensitive themes and contains explicit content intended for mature readers who appreciate emotional intensity, complex characters, and powerful storytelling.

I thought this book was very unique and stunningly good. A compelling combination of histoical and erotica that also has a dark, sharp edge. The story is complex, the characters complicated, the scenes sizzle and the emotions are raw. Cass and Robert both captured my heart and I felt so badly for both of them. One surprising deal leads them to the discovery that they were just what the other needed. A beautiful, moving and powerful romance.

Beautiful steamy story about healing soul and heart, letting go off the painful past and open up for a brighter future. I particularly liked the female character, Cassandra, not only because she is a very strong woman, but also because she is not annoying, I could pretty much relate her and how she felt. The book is part of a series but it can be read as a stand-alone too which is added bonus. And you will want to read the other books too, believe me.

After losing the love of his life to another man, Robert Lord Stanley stumbles into a public house looking to drown his sorrows. The last thing he expects is to be approached with a scandalous proposition. When Lady Cassandra Lane offers him one night in an upstairs room with her, he leaps at the chance despite her stipulation that he submit to her every whim. After her brutal assault at the hands of Bertram, Cass’ had her name and reputation dragged through the mud. Her family and friends have turned their back on her, and she’s become a social outcast. In the midst of it all, the anger and fear caused by the theft of her innocence rules her existence, and Cassandra has had enough. Deciding to take control of her circumstances, she sets out to find a man with whom she can overcome her anxiety over physical intimacy. Robert cannot understand why he responds so readily to Cassandra’s dominant nature, or the cruelty fueled by her anger. This is the final book in the series & what a series, absorbing, enthralling & powerfully written. I’ve loved all four books. Yes the sex is hot but there is so much more to the author’s books. There is a story & there are strong characters who are very well portrayed. Both Robert & Cassandra have suffered in different ways & how they coped & survived, very differently, has shaped who they are. I loved that Millie featured & so hope that she has her own story as more of her past was revealed. A fitting finale to a stunning series My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
