The Duke’s Stubborn Bride

[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.

Truths (2)

1. Take a leisurely stroll through the ton's streets

2. Attend a matinee performance in the afternoon

3. Explore artworks at an optional art gallery visit

4. Have a picnic in one of the ton's parks (exhibit: sandwiches, tea; for added fun, engage in a game of croquet)

5. Attend a soirée much later in the evening.

Evelina examined the list once more, her brow dug up in thought. The chance to relax and picnic in the park, followed by an invigorating game of croquet, stirred a sense of excitement within her. It brought back a flood of fond memories of her childhood, when she and her dear companions, Prissy and Colin, would frolic and revel in the game. Probably the only memory she had of playing at the Viscount's house with Colin involved.
