Rage To Possess

Hearts in the Thrall of Scandal

Jayne Bauling’s Rage to Possess whisks readers into the windswept moors of 18th-century Scotland, where passion and peril intertwine. When Lady Elinor Sinclair, orphaned and destitute, inherits the crumbling Blackthorn Estate, she must rely on the enigmatic laird, Duncan MacLeod, to restore her ancestral home. MacLeod—haunted by past betrayals and bound by clan loyalties—views Elinor’s arrival with suspicion, certain that fortune hunters covet his lands. Yet beneath his guarded exterior simmers an irresistible desire, forcing both to confront the scandalous rumors and buried secrets that threaten to tear their worlds apart.

Shadows of Betrayal and Desire

As Elinor navigates the estate’s secret passages and decaying ballrooms, she discovers a hidden journal chronicling a forbidden love affair—and a cryptic clue to a long-lost treasure. Together, she and Duncan embark on a perilous quest across mist-shrouded glens and ancient standing stones. Their journey ignites a tempest of emotions: Elinor’s fierce independence clashes with Duncan’s domineering pride, yet each encounter fans the flames of a raging attraction. In candlelit libraries and on moonlit heath, trust must be forged amid intrigue, for enemies lurk in every corner, determined to claim Blackthorn’s secrets for themselves.
