Summary

The dark, erotic duet by Victoria Vale, now in one bundle!

"Dark, gothic, and sizzling hot, The Villain is Jane Eyre meets Fifty Shades." (NYT Times best-selling author Anna Zaires)

Book One: The Villain

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.

Book 2: The Dove

An unexpected obsession…

After 30 days and nights in his bed, Adam sends Daphne back to London a fallen woman, the final blow that will see the Fairchild family scorned by society. However, he is hard-pressed to forget the beauty of her submission, or the brief moments of peace and balance she brought his tortured existence. Despite the bad blood between their families, he is determined to possess her, to stake his claim on her beyond the 30 nights she gave him. She will fight him at every turn … which will only make the chase, and her inevitable surrender, all the better.

A choice between love and retribution…

When the consequences of Adam’s deeds begin to fall back on not only him, but Daphne, as well, he is forced to bring her under his protection. He will end this feud between his family and hers once and for all, and is determined to put her behind him when all is said and done. Yet, it becomes increasingly clear that setting her aside will not be as simple as he thought. Her heart could be his for the taking, but only if he will abandon his vendetta against her family once and for all. Will Adam choose a lifetime of peace and love with Daphne … or will the need for revenge consume him, and eventually, destroy him?

Was a fairly good book

Story quite predictable, I found some of the language unnecessary and the narrators incorrect pronunciation of some words really aggravating, to such a point that I considered stopping the book.

loved it

Loved every minute of these 2 stories. I couldn't stop listening. I also listened to Hart book 1.5 in between them. The narrator was very good. He made the story even better. Very sexy Male voice of the Hero and very good feminine voices too. Will listen to more books that Darcy Stark narrates. And I'll definitely be listening to the rest of this series and the rest of Victoria Vale's books.
Oh and by the way love this cover and especially the cover of book 1.5, what a beautiful man. I'm using it as my wallpaper.

Morally conflicted

Strong woman who craves sexual and emotionsl abuse from cruel 'master' spurns brother who raped other innocent women. Our virgin heroine is violently raped by her master. He deliberately and publicly humiliates her and she condones it even though she is angered and hurt by it.
This book will confuse impressional people who may believe that violence and abuse in a relationship is normal.
