The Duke gave her a carefully written list of everything a proper Duchess should never do, expecting her to follow every rule without question.

She broke them one by one. Instead of being horrified, he found himself falling deeper in love. This charming Duke romance is about individuality, aristocratic expectations, witty rebellion, and a woman who refuses to lose herself just to fit a title.

In a world where every dance, glance and conversation must follow society’s rules, our heroine has never expected to capture the attention of one of England’s most sought-after gentlemen.

But when a chance meeting turns into an honest conversation, carefully hidden emotions begin to surface.

What starts with curiosity slowly becomes something neither of them planned — through stolen moments, quiet jealousy, unexpected laughter and words that become impossible to take back.

Will they return to the lives society has chosen for them, or finally admit what has been growing between them?

Stay until the end for a heartfelt Regency romance filled with emotional tension, elegant courtship and an unforgettable confession.
