The Duke Gave His Wife’s Seat to His First Love—She Left Before the First Toast

The duke gave his wife’s place at their dinner table to his first love. Before the first toast, his duchess had left—and the hostess’s chair stood empty. An original Regency romance about public humiliation, wounded pride, and a husband who must learn to value the woman he married. Evelyn planned a small dinner to celebrate the anniversary of Laurence’s proposal. She chose yellow roses, invited their friends, and hoped for an evening together. Then his first love accepted the invitation. Laurence changed the flowers, expanded the guest list, and offered another woman Evelyn’s place as hostess—without asking his wife. He expects Evelyn to understand. Instead, she leaves him a note and spends the evening elsewhere. Winning her trust again will require more than denying an affair. Laurence must admit why an old rejection mattered more to him than his wife’s happiness—and change the way he treats her when there is no audience.
