About this book
A freshly minted earl trying to survive a crumbling estate meets his match in a roguish smuggler who's absolutely infuriating—and impossibly useful. When Rufus d'Aumesty reluctantly hires the charming but mysterious Luke Doomsday as his secretary, what starts as a strategic alliance sizzles into something neither man saw coming. But Luke's carrying secrets that could upend everything they're building together, and as family betrayals and hidden agendas threaten to tear them apart, they'll both have to decide if love is worth the risk. It's a gorgeously complicated historical romance where trust is harder to earn than passion, and the enemies-to-lovers journey is absolutely worth every delicious complication.

Sultry baroque-pop meets dark indie rock—tension, scheming, and forbidden attraction. Moody strings, smoky vocals, and building desire. Historical intrigue wrapped in sensual energy. Think atmospheric tension with moments of passionate intensity.
