By: Victoria Vale

Narrated by: Darcy Stark

The dark, erotic duet by Victoria Vale, now in one bundle!

"Dark, gothic, and sizzling hot, The Villain is Jane Eyre meets Fifty Shades." (NYT Times best-selling author Anna Zaires)

Book One: The Villain

A heartless villain…

Lady Daphne Fairchild braves the journey from London to the wilds of Scotland alone with one purpose in mind: confront the man who purposely and methodically set out to ruin the men of her family. But what he demands in exchange for answers will thrust Daphne into a world of mystery, hatred, and lust.

An indecent proposal…

Thirty days and nights in the bed of the Earl of Hartmoor...this is the price she must pay to learn the truth of the dark lord’s vendetta against her family. Yet, when she accepts the offer, Daphne never expects to find that nothing is what she thought it was, and the truth proves far harder to stomach than she ever imagined.

Book 2: The Dove

An unexpected obsession…

After 30 days and nights in his bed, Adam sends Daphne back to London a fallen woman, the final blow that will see the Fairchild family scorned by society. However, he is hard-pressed to forget the beauty of her submission, or the brief moments of peace and balance she brought his tortured existence. Despite the bad blood between their families, he is determined to possess her, to stake his claim on her beyond the 30 nights she gave him. She will fight him at every turn … which will only make the chase, and her inevitable surrender, all the better.

A choice between love and retribution…

When the consequences of Adam’s deeds begin to fall back on not only him, but Daphne, as well, he is forced to bring her under his protection. He will end this feud between his family and hers once and for all, and is determined to put her behind him when all is said and done. Yet, it becomes increasingly clear that setting her aside will not be as simple as he thought. Her heart could be his for the taking, but only if he will abandon his vendetta against her family once and for all. Will Adam choose a lifetime of peace and love with Daphne … or will the need for revenge consume him, and eventually, destroy him?

Perfection

This is the second time I’ve listened to this story since it came out and it was just as good the second time around. As someone with a large library with close to 1000 books in my audible collection alone, this writer/narrator combination is perfection. The writing is smart and extremely sexy with narration that has no comparison.

This book prompted my initial interest in Victoria Vale’s books and Darcy Stark performs an incredibly and impelling sexy villain. Especially when addressing his “Little Dove”. As someone who has enjoyed Vale’s writing, and I can only hope she comes out with similar stories in the future. Either way, I’ll enjoy this one for years to come.

Captivating

Victoria Vale’s The Villian’s Duology was engaging from the moment the first word was spoken. Darcy reading her words had me feeling the character’s thoughts and deeds. Gripping to the last word. Now after hearing it I want to get the ebook and read it for myself.

Loved!

This was definitely worth the credit! This was also the first book I've listened to from Victoria Vale and I'm hooked!

would give this 10 stars!!

narration took a bit to get used to but once I increased the speed it got better and enjoyed the performance.

absolutely loved this tale. I highly recommend to everyone that loves a lot of sex and D/s and for some dub con or CNC.

awesome

Really loved this dark romance. All my fantasies come true. Would recommend this series that doesn't mind some rough sex. I loved the ending since they both were a little clueless throughout the book. I ordered for my sister also. I don't do that often at all.
