About the author

Lana Dunmore writes gritty contemporary romance set in Scotland's darker corners. Her characters are morally compromised and emotionally relentless. Her heroines don't get rescued — they get chosen, by men who are just as broken, and twice as dangerous.

Violet Sins

Two billionaires. One inheritance. Six months that will change her life. Violet Sinclair inherits shares in a powerful Aberdeen investment firm — and the only way to claim them is to spend six months working between the two men who run it. Callum Mercer and Dorian Cross don’t share. Until they see Violet flinch at another man’s touch, and decide she belongs to both of them. She came to learn the business. She’s staying because two ruthless, protective alphas have made her safety their obsession — and being wanted that completely is the most dangerous thing she’s ever craved. A scorching dark why-choose / MFM ménage romance with billionaire CEOs, forced proximity, a touch-her-and-die obsession, and a daddy/little dynamic. A standalone romance with a happily ever after.
