Don’t Be Gentle with Lord Tristan

He wants revenge. She believes in his redemption. Loving her may cost him everything.

Lord Tristan is accustomed to taking what he wants—and now he wants Effie, the compassionate, quietly determined daughter of his business rival, the Earl of Winchester. Their connection is immediate, dangerous, and deeply forbidden.

Effie refuses to believe the cruel portrait her father paints of Tristan. Beneath his commanding presence and ruthless reputation, she glimpses a man burdened by grief, addiction, and a darkness he keeps carefully hidden. Against her father’s wishes, Effie is determined to reach the man behind the walls—even if it costs her everything.

When a devastating bombing at Aldersgate Station cripples Tristan’s railway company, he becomes convinced the Earl of Winchester is responsible. Consumed by fury and grief, Tristan prepares to strike back with calculated vengeance. But revenge would destroy the one woman who still believes in him.
