The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

A knock at the door changed everything.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
