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.

As Alexander's right foot landed on the luxuriously carpeted steps, his hand gripping the intricately carved handrail, Sarah rushed up to him. "The kitchen reports that you skipped breakfast this morning. Would you like your favorite Boudreaux blend or scotch, Your Grace?"

"Climate not right for strong drink."

"What about some rolls or cookies? The peaches and plums are ripe, and with your permission, I could have the seeds crushed to make a juice that would go well with the biscuits. Wouldn't you like that, Your Grace?"
