I Asked for a Bookbinder, Not a Shopgirl,” the Duke Said — Then She Saved What His Men Couldn’t

A storm tears open the roof of Aldermere Hall, and three hundred years of a Duke’s family history begins to drown. When a young bookbinder from York arrives to save it, the cold Duke of Aldermere takes one look and orders her sent away. But Thea Bramwell didn’t come for the wages. Her late father’s name was ruined by a mysterious codicil said to be hidden in one of those very books, and she has come to find the truth. Soon she proposes something daring: a false engagement that could save a fishing village and clear her father’s name. But the Duke is hiding a secret of his own. A Victorian romance of pride, quiet courage, and the paper that never forgets.
