]]> 2540 The Duke of Harrowmere Vowed Never to Love His Late Wife’s Sister He swore he would never see his late wife’s sister as anything more. But when Rosalind Vane arrives at Harrowmere, the grieving Duke discovers that the heart rarely obeys a vow. Edmund Ashworth, Duke of Harrowmere, has spent two years holding his household and his grief in careful balance. Then Rosalind carries her own trunk upstairs, takes charge of the nursery, and wins his children’s devotion in just three days. Hearing his daughter laugh again leaves him unprepared for everything that follows. At first, Rosalind’s resemblance to her sister is painful. Slowly, Edmund begins to see the woman herself: capable, perceptive, and accustomed to putting everyone else first. As his feelings deepen, he struggles to name a love he never expected—and fears he should not want. For Rosalind, being needed has always come before being wanted. Could Edmund become her unexpected proof that being truly seen is not the same as being compared? A slow-burn romance about grief, forbidden attraction, family, and the courage to love again.

]]> 1749 She Heard the Duke Would Marry for Duty—So She Wrote to End the Engagement When Cecily Ashworth overhears the Duke of Ashmore describe their marriage as "strategic," she believes he intends to marry for duty, not love. With Cowper's poetry in her hand, she leaves before hearing the rest—and writes to end their engagement. Edmund Ashmore has ruled Ashmore Park with practiced composure for fifteen years. Then Cecily arrives, claiming the east drawing room for her mornings, leaving books throughout the house, and proving his steward wrong about drainage. Before he realizes it, the duke is counting the hours until breakfast, simply because she will be there. Cecily has spent years making herself useful and undemanding, protecting her heart by leaving first. She has never imagined she might be worth a twelve-mile journey in a cold carriage at seven in the morning. But Edmund is about to offer the most inconvenient proof that she heard only half the truth. A historical romance about a broken engagement, misunderstood intentions, and the courage to believe that love can mean more than duty.

When Eleanor Ashworth hears coughing through the wall at half past two, she tries to ignore it. Twenty minutes later, she opens the adjoining door and finds herself beside the bed of James Cavendish, the Duke of Ashmore.

To her surprise, the Duke of Westhaven is there to greet her, an unusual gesture for a duke meeting a companion, left unexplained. When their eyes meet, she sees anything but pity; he was expecting her. James, the Duke of Westhaven, oversees his estate, holds a parliamentary seat, and has managed responsibilities for eleven years without choosing anything for himself. Listening in the Ashworth drawing room, he hears a woman being dismissed as a problem, which causes him to pause and reevaluate his perspective. Elowen is observant, having spent seven years being underestimated due to her silence. This has honed her precision and patience, making her challenging to deceive.
