Description
Two aristocratic teenagers are married off in secret at midnight, then torn apart before they can exchange more than a few words. Nine years later Julian returns from exile in France to claim a bride he has never really met — and finds, to his astonishment, that she is everything he could have wished for. The catch is that Deb has no idea the charming stranger courting her is already her husband, and a rival suitor with darker motives is circling. Julian has to win her heart honestly, on borrowed time, with the future of the Roxton dukedom hanging on the outcome.

What Readers Are Saying
- “Enthralling story, superbly told… worthy of repeated readings.” — Devisu, five-star Amazon reviewer

Why We Think It Should Be Your Next Book
This is old-fashioned historical romance in the best sense — a real plot, real stakes, and a period setting rendered with genuine care rather than wallpaper. The mistaken-identity premise gives Julian a courtship he actually has to earn, and Deb is written as a young woman with a spine rather than a prize to be claimed. With more than 6,800 ratings and a 4.3-star average, it has clearly earned its readership, and as the opening volume of an eight-book saga it comes with somewhere to go once you are hooked.
