The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

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

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

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

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

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

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

The end.
