To Love a Dark Lord

Anne Stuart

A dark, atmospheric Georgian-era romance about Emma Langolet, who accidentally kills her abusive uncle and is rescued from the gallows by James Killoran, a jaded, revenge-driven earl. Killoran takes her in intending to use her as a pawn against his enemy, never expecting to actually fall for the innocent young woman living under his roof. The novel also follows a poignant secondary romance between Killoran's naive cousin and a scarred, worldly woman entangled in Killoran's orbit. It's a classic 1990s dark-hero historical full of melodrama, villains, and slow-building redemption.
