The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

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

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

A knock at the door changed everything.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

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

The end.
