After all, even in the progressive year of 1928, most people would balk at hiring a woman who'd spent two months in a mental ward for traumatic amnesia. So when an uncommon assistantship to a reclusive Professor of mythology falls into her lap with an ungodly salary attached, her desperation for stability overrides her cautious nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo Millie's dismay, the widowed Professor Callum Hughes and his estate, Willowfield, are more than she bargained for. The once magnificent home, known for its sprawling gardens and dazzling parties, is falling to pieces after the death of the professor's fragile wife. What's more, the staff has been reduced to the only three people not frightened away by rumors of ghosts, leaving the halls empty and languishing in bitter memories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe professor himself is a grim, intense man with unclear expectations, unpredictable moods, and hungry eyes that ignite Millie's own dormant passions.

But the professor is keeping secrets of his own and the most dangerous of all is hers to discover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Romantics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45915294564550,"sku":"9798988473817","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/0445\/2806\/files\/VILLAINS_VIXENSPREORDER_TheCruelDark.png?v=1780576407","url":"https:\/\/www.thenewromanticsbooks.com\/products\/villains-vixens-preorder-the-cruel-dark","provider":"The New Romantics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
