Ravished

In the quiet coastal village of Upper Snaith, the fiercely independent Miss Harriet Pomeroy finds her beloved family caves under siege by ruthless smugglers. Desperate for aid, she dares to summon the infamous Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. Justin—a man burdened by the moniker 'the Beast of Blackthorne Hall' due to his disfigured face and notorious past. Harriet expects a brute, but finds herself captivated by Gideon's raw strength and a hidden pain in his tawny eyes, which she longs to soothe rather than fear. Gideon, a man accustomed to suspicion and revulsion, is intrigued by Harriet's unyielding spirit and unusual perception. As they delve into the local mystery, their professional alliance swiftly ignites into an undeniable passion. However, a cunning and dangerous adversary lurks in the shadows, determined to tear them apart and ensure their mutual downfall, forcing Gideon and Harriet to fight not only for justice but for a love that defies all expectations.
