Ravished by the Icy Duke

“There is a danger in desiring the one man who has sworn never to need you…”

Elias Hawthorne, the Duke of Ravenshall, has built walls no one dares to breach. Scarred in body and spirit, he hides behind solitude, convinced he can no longer love, let alone be loved.

When fire destroys her home, Annesley Atwood, his sister’s closest friend, has nowhere else to go but Ravenshall. She arrives only as a guest in need, but suddenly finds herself living under the same roof as the man she has secretly adored since girlhood.

What begins as a reluctant arrangement soon shifts into something far more dangerous. Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand, makes the silence between them crackle with what they dare not say aloud.

He tells himself she is forbidden. She tells herself she is foolish. Yet the longer they are trapped together, the more impossible it becomes to ignore what both their hearts already know: some desires refuse to stay buried.
