[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.

"Why didn't you mention that coming here was part of the plan?" Evelina settled into the chair, surrounded by a cluster of clothes. "I could have brought a little present for her."

"Because it wasn't," Priscilla said, brushing a damp strand of brown hair away from her face. "The rain compelled me to give it a try. And I wasn't sure if I wanted Timothy involved this time. You know Aunt Arabella's reputation and how our families would disapprove of our visit."

"I know." Evelina sighed, her voice heavy with comprehension.

Returning with two peach towels straight out of their wrappers, Lady Arabella handed one to each of them. "These should warm you up for a moment while I boil some water. Would you like a tea?"

Evelina nodded, her teeth chattering, as Lady Arabella went about her tasks.
