Damien Blackthorn
A collector of masterpieces and secrets. Damien inherited Blackthorn Manor and its fortune at twenty-five, and locked the west wing the same day. Twenty years of solitude in a mansion full of beauty he cannot touch. He is cold, precise, watchful—a man who controls everything except the hunger he's buried. His devotion is possessive, volcanic, born of long denial. He craves surrender, ritual, the slow undoing of someone who proves worthy of his vaults—and his body. He has never let anyone into the west wing. He will let Evelyn in. He will not let her leave unchanged.
