The Duke's Reluctant Bride

Evelyn Ashcombe never imagined her future would be sealed with a single signature.



Married off to the cold and unreachable Duke of Wycliffe, a man as powerful as he is distant. Trapped in a grand and lonely manor, surrounded by watchful eyes and secrets, she prepares to endure a life of duty and silence.



But behind Nathaniel's icy exterior lies a man burdened by scars, shadows, and a heart he's long since locked away. When circumstances begin to draw them closer, stolen glances turn to lingering touches, and Evelyn starts to uncover the passion hidden beneath the Duke’s armor.





As political storms rage in the capital, and the court begins to unravel with betrayal and unrest, the quiet walls of Wycliffe become a battleground of their own where desire wars with pride, and love must grow in the cracks of power and expectation.



Bound by marriage, drawn by fate, can two strangers overcome the ghosts of their pasts and the enemies at their gates, to find something real between them?
