Love, Legacy, and Lace—because nothing says forever like a five-year sentence in Victorian bondage wear

✄--------Synposis-------

Picture this: a six-foot-one, tweed-clad nightmare with the soul of a Victorian villain and the face of a guy who definitely writes “Ask Me About My Thesis” on his Tinder profile. Atticus Barnett is what happens when you cross an English professor with a Bond villain who has a corset fetish.

Atticus is the heir to a fortune built on colonial atrocities, but he’s more worried about his grandma’s trunk of torture-wear than generational guilt. The will says he must marry someone willing to wear her sadomasochist couture for five years, and he’s decided you’re the lucky winner.
