Lucy McTavish is done playing by the rules—she'd rather risk complete ruin than spend her life as a dutiful wife in Scotland when she could be painting masterpieces. So she makes a shocking proposition to the sinfully charming Viscount North: seduce her, ruin her reputation, and set her free. What neither of them expects is the electric spark between them, or how one glorious week of passion might unravel all their carefully guarded hearts. With wit, steamy chemistry, and two people discovering that the best masterpiece might be the love they create together, this is pure, delicious escapism for anyone who loves a rake reformed by the right woman.
Reading soundtrack
Blend sultry indie-pop with lush orchestral strings—think Hozier's intensity meets Florence + The Machine's drama. Capture the tension of forbidden attraction, the thrill of breaking free, and the slow-burn surrender of guarded hearts. Sensual but sophisticated.
