A poetic wife for the widowed Duke
“Lady Caroline, while I admire your… directness, I must decline. Marriage is not a matter to be decided so hastily.”
Lady Caroline Rutherford refuses to surrender her future to the control of scheming relatives. With her inheritance threatened and her freedom slipping away, she takes a bold step no proper lady should—she proposes a marriage of convenience to a grieving duke she barely knows.
Henry Montague, the widowed Duke of Northampton, has buried his heart with his late wife. He seeks no romance, only stability for his young daughter. But Caroline’s wit, independence, and hidden tenderness stir emotions he thought long dead. Their agreement is meant to be practical—but nothing about their growing connection remains part of the plan.
Drawn together by necessity and bound by an arrangement neither fully trusts, Caroline and Henry must decide whether the safety of distance is worth more than the risk of falling in love.
Can a marriage of convenience bloom into a love neither dared to write into their future?

Piano Lessons With The Duke
“Their eyes met across the music room, matching fires burning in their gazes.”
Lady Victoria Sinclair has a secret. By day she plays proper sonatas for polite company. By candlelight she becomes Victor Hart—London’s most celebrated anonymous composer.
But secrets are expensive.
Her father’s debts have summoned a suitor: the cold, controlling Duke of Westbrook. He offers wealth and status—at the price of her music, her identity, and her voice.
Marcus Devereux, a wealthy patron of the arts, knows true talent when he hears it. Under the guise of piano lessons for his sister, he draws Victoria into a dangerous duet of glances, touches, and unspoken dreams.
Their connection deepens with every lesson, every stolen moment. But time is running out. The Duke has plans. Society has rules. And secrets, once revealed, can destroy.
When Victoria’s hidden identity threatens to destroy her reputation and Marcus’s loyalties are tested, both must decide whether love is worth the risk of stepping into the light.
Can a woman who’s lived behind a mask find freedom in the arms of the one man who sees her true self?
