Beauty and the Duke

When Scars Meet Temptation: A Broken Regency Omegaverse DukeEdward Fitzwilliam, Duke of Redleigh × Alessandra Cappelli Her innocence was the one price I would not pay, but she demanded I rip it from her with every sigh, whimper, and pleading look in her hungry gaze.As her guardian, I was forced to watch her grow up from a young age. She was annoying then, nothing more than an irritation I had to deal with until I could see her married.When she turned eighteen, everything shifted. Instead of the awkward girl driving me to annoyance, her scent changed, and with it, so did everything else.Instead of teaching her French, I longed to teach her the profane language of a darker more savage love only I could give.Instead of manners and etiquette, I wished nothing more than to ravage her very soul and devour every inch of her.But she's my ward, untouchable, the Queen's favored, and I already have too many scars on my body and soul to add yet one more.To her, I'm beastly, a monster, and yet still, she persists.Time to show her how monstrous I can really be.
