A Dark Victorian Romance of Discipline, Obsession, and Irresistible Surrender
In the shadowed corridors beneath Warrington Hall, Marian Turner was just another invisible servant?unseen, unheard, and untouched. Until the day she broke something irreplaceable. Summoned to face the Duke of Warrington, a man feared as much as he is revered, Marian expects dismissal... not obsession.
What begins as punishment becomes something far more dangerous. Under the Duke's unrelenting gaze, Marian is stripped of her defenses, her dignity, and slowly?shamefully?her resistance. Each act of discipline leaves her trembling, yet breathless. Each whispered command reshapes her, binding her more deeply to a man who sees through every trembling denial.
As Marian falls deeper into a life governed by the Duke's ruthless authority, she must confront a chilling truth: she is no longer merely a maid. She is his.
And she no longer wishes to be free.
Perfect for readers who crave:
- Dark historical romance with master/servant dynamics
- Powerful, controlling Victorian heroes
- Explicit discipline and punishment scenes
- Emotional power shifts and intense psychological surrender
- The tension of obedience, restraint, and slow-burn depravity
If you love works by Katee Robert, Sierra Simone, or those with the stark emotional control of The Story of O, you'll be unable to look away from The Scullery Maid?a gorgeously written descent into submission, set in the haunting halls of a Victorian estate where desire and discipline are indistinguishable.
