Forbidden Oath: A Duty of Care Series

A haunting, atmospheric romantic thriller about trauma, hope, and the dangerous power of being seen.

When artist Ember Lane becomes the target of a relentless stalker, her world shrinks to locked doors and sleepless nights. Desperate, she turns to Damian Blackwood—a lawyer with a predatory reputation, a haunted past, and a code of his own. As the threats escalate and safe places turn to cages, Ember and Damian are forced into an uneasy alliance that blurs the lines between protector and protected, hunter and hunted. Their connection crackles with danger and desire, even as the shadows close in. To survive, Ember must find the courage to step out of the dark—and Damian must decide how far he’ll go to keep her safe.

Spellbinding, gritty, and achingly intimate, this is a story about reclaiming the light, and the love found in the unlikeliest places.

This book is a standalone novel that features in the Duty of Care series.
