[ON HIATUS! I’m sorry …] Lady Evelina Belle Beaumont Huxley and the distinguished English Duke Alexander Montague McAllister unexpectedly cross paths. While one is mistaken for a courtesan in the red-light district, the other is perceived as a scoundrel. Despite a tumultuous first encounter, Evelina finds herself indebted to the Duke after a challenging night. Little does she know, this is just the beginning of her journey. Weeks later, at a seasonal ball, Duke Montague catches Evelina's eye once again. However, the words he utters trigger all of her anxieties, compelling her to comply with his demands. Will she submit to the Duke's wishes? ** Please note that the cover art is original and belongs to me. Do not use without permission.

Breanna's question halted them just as they were about to step inside the house. Evelina felt her heart drop as her mother asked that, her tone insinuating that she had some inkling of the truth. And if she did know, Evelina shuddered at what the consequences might be.

"You two were gone for ages and now you decide to show up?"

"We apologize, Mother." Evelina hung her head. "There was so much to explore and experience. We couldn't do it all because of the rain… "

Priscilla nudged her before she could finish, then stepped forward with a smile directed at the countess. "You look absolutely stunning tonight, Countess."

Breanna blushed, smoothing down the top of her dome-style hair. "Do I?"
