SHE WAS TOLD TO SIT QUIETLY AND LET HER SISTER SHINE — THE DUKE ONLY EVER LOOKED AT HER

SHE WAS TOLD TO SIT QUIETLY AND LET HER SISTER SHINE — THE DUKE ONLY EVER LOOKED AT HER Rosamund Barclay has been given three rules for Lady Shelkirk's house party: sit by the wall, say nothing, and let her dazzling younger sister Dinah shine. She has obeyed them for twenty-four years, and she is very good at it. So good, in fact, that she is the only person in the ballroom who notices what the famously cold Duke of Penrithmouth is really doing when he stares at people and walks away mid-sentence. And he, out of two hundred guests, chooses to look at her. Their mother has plans for a duke, and none of them involve the wrong daughter. As a rainy fortnight of picnics, musicales and whispered cruelties unfolds, Rosamund learns that being overlooked has taught her to see what nobody else can, and that a secret kept kindly can bind two people more closely than any vow. But a mother's scheme is closing like a trap, and the final ball will decide who gets to speak, and who has been silenced for far too long. This is a slow-burn, tender drawing-room romance with a clever heroine, a proud duke, a family that must finally hear the word no, and a public moment of vindication. Settle in, pour something warm, and let the quiet ones have their turn. #DukeRomance #HistoricalRomance #Wallflower #SlowBurn #SisterStory #CleanRomance #RomanceStory #StoryTime #ColdDuke #HeartwarmingStory
