The Butterfly (Standalone sequel to The Villain Duology)

A Regency Erotic Romance filled with passion, forbidden love, and emotional depth…

Propriety Forbade Them

From the first moment stable groom Niall Gibbs glimpses Lady Olivia Goodall, he's hopelessly captivated. Even as children, Olivia's delicate beauty draws him in, igniting a dangerous desire he knows he must resist. Bound by strict social hierarchy, their love is forbidden—yet impossible to deny. As they grow older, their secret bond deepens, defying every rule for stolen moments of passion, even knowing their romance can never be publicly acknowledged.

Tragedy Ruined Them

When Olivia departs for London and her first Season, Niall accepts their impossible love is over. But a year later, Olivia returns home shattered—a ruined woman clutching a newborn babe, her spirit fractured by cruelty and trauma. After enduring a brutal assault and confinement in an asylum for unwed mothers, Olivia struggles with darkness, shame, and anguish. Niall vows to do anything to rescue the woman he loves, even if it means sharing in her darkness.

Love Will Save Them

As Olivia battles her past, hope sparks anew for their seemingly doomed love. Yet Niall remains haunted by the gap between their worlds, and Olivia still confronts the demons that threaten to consume her. Can love truly heal all wounds, or will the ghosts of their past forever deny them the happiness they've fought so fiercely to claim?
