When Miranda Rohan has nothing left to lose, she finds a dangerous kind of freedom—until she crosses paths with the enigmatic and ruthless Lucien de Malheur, who pulls her into a marriage that feels like a trap disguised as salvation. What begins as a calculated scheme of vengeance transforms into something neither of them expected: a passion so intense it burns away all pretense and threatens to consume them both. Stuart masterfully weaves together a tale of enemies bound by secrets, betrayal, and an undeniable connection that challenges everything they thought they knew about each other. If you love dark, complex romance where antagonism becomes attraction and redemption feels just within reach, this one will absolutely captivate you.

Dark, sensual alternative rock and moody indie with gothic undertones. Think smoldering tension, dangerous attraction, and the intoxicating blur between enemy and lover. Sultry vocals, heavy bass, orchestral darkness—music that feels like a trap you willingly walk into.
