Until her love becomes his salvation. Disappointment marks Miss Eliza Wayland’s first season. Overlooked in favor of her vivacious sister, the gaming-hell heiress drowns her sorrows in sour lemonade. When the notorious rake, Lord Sinclair, claims a dance, her biting wit is no match for his charms. In him, she finds the connection and understanding she craves. As their courtship progresses, Eliza blooms under his careful attention—despite her parents’ warnings of thorns. Benedict’s attendance was no coincidence. Vengeance drives him. Either of the Wayland girls will suit his purpose, but Eliza is the simpler choice. Her life of privilege was built atop the ruins of the Sinclair name, and honor demands repayment. But as Benedict breaches Eliza’s defenses, his own crumble alongside them. Despite the inconvenient discovery of a conscience, Benedict forges ahead—there is no other path. But to fulfill his duty, he must destroy Eliza, even if he shatters himself in the process. When the sins of the past refuse to stay buried, deception and desire collide in this first installment of Ally Hudson’s new series, Hell’s Heiresses. Passionate and perilous, The Viscount’s Violet wages a seductive battle between retribution and redemption. less
