A Governess Fed the Duke's Runaway Son — He Never Forgot What It Cost Her

In the frost-covered kitchen gardens of Ashvale House, on an ordinary October morning in 1815, a governess made a choice that would change everything. She found a small boy hiding behind a rosemary bush — cold, frightened, and alone. She did not report him. She fed him from her own breakfast, gave him her bed, and kept his secret. What Clara Ashby could not have known was that the boy was the Duke of Ashvale's only son — and that her single act of quiet kindness would set in motion a love story neither of them had any business beginning. This is a Regency romance audiobook about two people who find each other in the wrong season, at the wrong moment, on the wrong side of every rule society has ever written — and choose each other anyway, at considerable cost. A brooding duke who has kept his heart behind a locked door for eight years. A governess with no fortune, no title, and no right to want anything beyond her wages. A little boy who draws maps and asks questions no one else has thought to answer. And a Parliamentary conspiracy that will steal forty families' livelihoods unless someone is brave enough to knock on a door that has been shut for far too long.
