The Duke’s Secret
Category: Romance
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
The end.
