Bonus list:
Ilana mentioned that she didn’t know of any psychopath protagonists in historical romance. I beg to differ! Here are a few I can think of:
- Duke of Sin, Elizabeth Hoyt
- Pretty much all three heroes from Kerrigan Byrne’s Victorian Rebels series, but especially The Hunter
- I would say that Hoyt’s The Serpent Prince is another example, though poorly done. All that dueling!
