The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

A knock at the door changed everything.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

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

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

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

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

The end.
