See all formats and editions

Binge the complete trilogy.

Unwavering optimism and a natural gift to bring out the best in people make Layla Sinclair stand out as a ray of sunshine in the post-apocalyptic scenery.

Twenty-year-old Layla grew up sheltered from the vicious landscape her father created when he weaponized the zombie virus. But a pampered existence secured behind walls, where she is only expected to smile pretty, won’t satisfy her passion to be a positive force in the world.

Her soul craves an end to the hostilities between the new U.S.A. her family founded and their enemies in the nation of Havenia to the north. When her uncle puts his faith in her to serve as ambassador in Havenia, Layla won’t let anything derail her from brokering a treaty, not even the captivating man she’s been falling in love with from a distance for over five years, Gabriel Zacks.

Gabriel, the president of Havenia, is not a good man. Though puzzled by the motives of his enemies for sending him one of their own to negotiate peace, he finds himself fascinated by Layla’s purity and trustworthiness. His intentions with the enchanting hostage change as he discovers she sees something lovable in him, urging him to give her anything her heart desires, except her freedom.

While Layla believes everyone is the hero in someone’s fairytale, the best Gabriel can offer is to be the villain of her dreams. Layla has no doubt Gabriel is her happily ever after. The only question left is - How much of her innocence will she have to sacrifice to cultivate peace and love in the venomous soil of Gabriel’s heart?

Content advisory:
Age gap villain romance with spice and dark themes. Some violence.

Lucretia Stanhope is a relentlessly optimistic crone who refuses to let her growing collection of rare illnesses steal her sparkle. She prefers to think of herself as medically fascinating as opposed to disabled. Seriously, half of these diseases sound less realistic than her most fanciful novels.
Powered by the support of an amazing husband and family, when she isn’t cuddling with her rescue chi-mixes, Thor and Moxie, she spends her days in creative pursuits that range from drawing and painting to crochet and writing.
This is the landing page for all the pen names that include solo and collaborative novels. Please note genres and content advisories as these novels range from YA friendly, to adult only romances and graphic horror, with a touch of everything in between.

I thought this book was the best one out of the 3 at first. He's a monster but it seemed he had redeeming qualities. The more time he spent with her and fell in love with her the more human he'd become. But towards the end I started to see how really twisted he was. Choking her was a slip up but I felt he made up for it, busting the mirror was a stretch but I got past it, but towards the end when she started realizing she really had no choice despite the way he seemed to be changing for her was my turning point. At the end when it came out that she was pregnant just broke my heart for her. Reading the way she thought about it, how she knew she didn't have a choice anyway so she might as well just let it happen and give him the gift of children and then finding out he took that choice from her. Deceived her in the worst way. And the excuses she told herself to make it okay.. I couldn't even read it anymore. Reading how she felt and the excuse she made about her ending up pregnant at some point anyway so it was okay and him not showing an ounce of remorse was disgusting. He's a predator, a stalker, an abuser.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me a dominant, possesive, beast of a man that's controlling and demanding and ruthless but also loving and caring too but this is just obsession and abuse. At the end she just came off as a little girl with Stockholm syndrome to a man that owns her. Love isn't enough. You need respect and trust and there's NONE of that in their relationship and one day it'll crumble and it'll be too late for her. She'll lose her light in the cage he locked her in.

another great book by a talented author

This book is very different from the first two, but still follows on perfectly. The author has written a story which matches Layla’s personality. There are a number of twists which will keep you reading. It highlights the difference between hero and villain is sometimes just point of view. What one person may see as a kidnapping, for example, another may see as a rescue, and even heroes do horrible things sometimes. Nobody is perfect.

My only disappointment is there are no more books for me to read. I hope another one gets written soon.
