Publisher's Summary

A heartless villain....
Lady Daphne Fairchild braves the journey from London to the wilds of Scotland alone with one purpose in mind: confront the man who purposely and methodically set out to ruin the men of her family. But what he demands in exchange for answers will thrust Daphne into a world of mystery, hatred, and lust.

An indecent proposal....
Thirty days and nights in the bed of the Earl of Hartmoor...this is the price she must pay to learn the truth of the dark lord’s vendetta against her family. Yet, when she accepts the offer, Daphne never expects to find that nothing is what she thought it was, and the truth proves far harder to stomach than she ever imagined.

A cruel desire that holds her captive....
Even as he uses her to exact his final revenge against her family, Daphne cannot deny the way her body reacts to his touch, the way her soul seems to become more intertwined with his by the day. Despite the ruin he has made of her life, she cannot escape that the threads of deceit, desire, and pain have tied them together irrevocably. With her fate now in his hands, she is uncertain whether he will turn out to be the hero who steals her heart, or the villain who destroys her soul.

I'm hooked

This is the first of Victoria Vale's novels that I've listened to, swiftly followed by the others in the series because I was hooked from the first chapter, totally caught up and seduced by the story and the rich and beautiful reading by Darcy Stark. The characters came alive for me and I enjoyed it immensely. I cannot recommend this book enough. It's one I will listen to many times over.

Waste of money

Most disappounting. Got boring very quickly. In two minds about narration. Good narrator but was a bit strange to hear a man narrate a dwmale erotic novel. Overall, won't buy another book from that author.
