The DUKE Hadn't Spoken in 3 Years… Until She Arrived

Wren Colston was never meant to matter. Sent north as payment for her father's debt, she arrived at Marrowgate Hall to marry Julian Faircross, the charming golden heir everyone adored. But the great house held a secret: Julian's father, the Duke, had not spoken a single word in three years. Everyone called him broken. Everyone was wrong. When Wren discovers a piece of handwritten music in a sealed library and dares to play it, she awakens a grief the whole county has misunderstood, and begins to unravel the truth about the night the Duchess died on the icy north road. Why did the charming son burn his boots at dawn? Why does the silent Duke look not heartbroken, but afraid? And why did his voice return the moment one honest woman asked one honest question? A slow-burning Regency story of grief, courage, quiet love, and a truth three years in the making. If you believe healing begins when someone finally listens, this story is for you.
