By: Meghan Sloan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After the tragic loss of her parents, Rose Browning is taken in by her aunt, a skilled healer in natural medicines. Rose spends her days gathering herbs, until one fateful morning, she suffers a terrible fall in the forest. She is found by the reclusive and beastly Duke of Montford. Contrary to his fearsome and devilish reputation, Rose awakens to find a seductive man who is not at all repelled by his disfiguring scar. Captivated by a fiery desire for the mysterious man, she soon accepts his proposal to work as a maid at his manor.

Will the village’s hatred around the duke destroy her flaming romance?

Since his return from the war, William Ashford, Duke of Montford, has been hiding away in his dark castle, haunted by his scar and the horrors he witnessed. Shunned by society and labeled a monster, he embraces solitude. His heart, as cold as the stone walls around him, starts to melt when the alluring Rose starts working for him. The more time they spend together, the more William’s wounds heal, opening a space for his untamed feelings for her.

If only his tempting rose could heal his wounded heart too…

As their burning passion turns into a scandalous affair, Rose’s aunt is wary, and her younger brother, swayed by village gossip, becomes an unwitting pawn in a dangerous scheme. Yet, the true threat emerges from the shadows, aiming to destroy the duke and everything he holds dear. Can Rose and William’s bond win over vengeance, betrayal, and societal scorn? Will they be strong enough to overcome the shadows of their past and forge a future filled with hope and passionate love?
