His Children Left a Letter on the Governess's Pillow: "We Choose You" — the Duke Found It First

A widowed Duke climbs the nursery stairs to say goodnight, six days before he announces his engagement to a proper society widow, and finds a letter on his governess's pillow written in his own daughter's hand: three words that undo two years of careful distance. He pockets it instead of returning it, and from that night on he can no longer pretend he hasn't noticed her laugh, her hands, her quiet steadiness with his motherless twins. As the engagement dinner draws closer, his children keep insisting in small, stubborn ways that he's choosing the wrong woman — and he's beginning, helplessly, to agree. But the governess has a secret of her own, one that could take her away from Ashington Park before he ever finds the courage to speak. Will the Duke let duty decide his family's future, or will he finally choose the woman his children chose first?
