She Grabbed a Stranger to Escape Her Ex — Not knowing He's a Duke!

She had four seconds and one door between her and the man who'd spent two years telling England she was cold. So she turned and put her arms around the nearest stranger. It worked. Julian Verrall walked past without a glance. And then the room went quiet, and Amelia Carrow looked up and understood exactly whose coat she was holding — and what those four seconds had just cost a nine-year-old girl she'd never met. The Duke of Ravensmere offered her a bargain instead of a ruin. Six months, and then she walks away. Her ex-fiancé had never told a lie about her in his life. That was the problem. A full-length historical romance. Four chapters. Slow burn, no rescuing required. 🌍 Comment the country you're watching from — and tell me if you're proud of it. 🔔 Subscribe for a new story every week. #historicalromance
