She Dressed to Be Invisible — But the Duke Had Loved Her for Eight Years

For eight years, Anne Wilmot has worn only grey, scraped her hair flat, and made herself the most unremarkable woman in London — a deliberate survival after a childhood in a house that punished beauty. She has forgotten what it feels like to be looked at. Then a duke appears in her publisher's doorway and tells her she once wore blue, danced with him, and teased him about his crooked cravat — because he never once stopped watching over her, from a careful, silent distance, for eight years. Now her tormentor is gone, and the duke who loved a girl in colour is asking the woman in grey to be seen again — by him, if no one else. But invisibility became her armor, hard to lay down even for a man who has waited a lifetime to see her face in the light.
