The Harrowstone Manor Sins: A Collection of Dark Victorian Erotic Romances

Welcome to Harrowstone Manor, where the winter never ends, and the Master always collects his due. Perched on the jagged edge of the Cornish cliffs, Harrowstone Manor is a fortress of ice and silence. It is a place where the wind screams like a dying lover and the doors are locked from the outside. In this collection of five dark, atmospheric, and explicitly erotic tales, five women find themselves trapped by the snow and the iron will of the Sterling men. They arrive as governesses, guests, and defiant heirs. They leave-if they leave at all-as property. Inside these stone walls, debts are not paid in coin, but in submission. Shame is stripped away along with silk gowns, and the only warmth to be found is in the punishing heat of the Master‘s bed. This collection includes: The Governess‘s Stormbound Surrender: Eleanor Hayes arrives to pay off her father‘s debt, but Lord Sebastian Sterling demands a currency far more intimate than labor. A spilled cup of tea leads to a lesson in discipline that changes her from a servant into a possession. The Maid‘s Midnight Inheritance: Jane, a freezing scullery maid, discovers she is the secret heir to the estate. But the caretaker, Elias, holds the power, and he offers her a devil‘s bargain: she can rule the house by day, provided she crawls for him by night. Bound to the Secret Gardener: Miss Hawthorne, a rigid botanist, trespasses in the forbidden Winter Gardens. There, amidst the suffocating heat and writhing vines, she meets Bram, a primal force of nature who decides that she is the perfect specimen for his own dark experiments. The Winter Guest‘s Confession: Lady Beatrice Fenwick is trapped by a blizzard with Adrian Sterling, the man she once scorned. In the cold, forgotten wing of the manor, the "Ice Queen" is shattered, humiliated, and rebuilt until she begs for the very touch she claimed to hate. The Heir‘s Christmas Debt: Sold by her father to cover a gambling loss, Ophelia Cross arrives expecting a wedding but finds a cage. Stripped of her name and trained like a prize filly, she learns that freedom is a cold comfort compared to the heat of the Master‘s collar. This collection features dark gothic themes, strict power dynamics, corporal punishment, humiliating discipline, and explicit sexual content. It is intended for mature audiences only.
