Mira Hollowell spent three years measuring a dying river in freezing water, mapping every current, every channel, every hidden weakness in the land. She handed every page of that research to the man she was going to marry. He accepted a prize for it in front of three hundred people, announced he was marrying someone richer, and walked away. Two days later, his father — James Aldenmoor, the Marquess — sent for her. He had read her original notebooks. He had seen his son's handwriting was nowhere in them. And he had a proposal no one in the county expected. • The night of the gala: how Frederick claimed Mira's river survey as his own and dissolved their engagement in the same evening • The Marquess's unexpected offer — and the list of conditions Mira brought to the negotiating table before she said yes • A marriage built on respect, a river project finally bearing her name, and the slow, careful discovery that the coldest man in the county had been hiding something far warmer than anyone knew The work was always hers. The only question was whether the world would ever be forced to admit it. ================================================================== #DukeAndDuchess #VictorianRomance #PeriodDrama #DukeStory
