Four years ago, Selena Moreau gave her heart to a man she had no business loving. She was a seamstress-young, gifted, and far from home. He was a prince, caught between duty and desire, with promises that tasted like forever. In the quiet shadows of the palace, they shared something soft, something sacred... until the world outside tore it apart. Now, Selena lives a quiet life in the town no one of importance ever visits, raising her son with careful hands and a guarded heart. She asks for nothing. Expects even less. The boy she bore is hers alone, and she intends to keep it that way. But when the newly crowned king returns and their paths cross once more, old feelings begin to stir-and buried truths rise to the surface. Alexander is back... not just in her world, but dangerously close to the one secret that binds them forever. He wants to know his son. He wants to understand what he lost. But after everything he left behind... will she let him in? A story of first love, betrayal, and the slow, aching journey back to one another-where the cost of silence may be the only thing keeping them apart.

Not of his own accord, but the insistence of his mother, the Dowager Duchess. Garrick has been running his Duchy for a few years, alone, with the exception of a few tussles under the sheets. Since he isn't completely opposed to the idea of marriage, he agrees, but no one has sparked his interest. That is until his married sister, Lady Victoria visits with her husband, the Viscount, and Garrick lays eyes on her lady's maid. Estelle Morrow Blythe has spent her life in service of others. Though she feels lucky that her ladies have been mostly kind, and Lady Victoria treats her like a friend as much as she can, her life as a lady's maid has always been a bitter pill she had to swallow. Then she travels with Lady and Lord Thompson to stay with the Duke of Windstrom. The way he looks at Estelle makes her feel nothing she's ever felt before, but there is no way a lady's maid like her could ever be with a Duke. And she had heard much about this one... When fleeting touches and heated glances stoke the fire between them, Garrick and Estelle will have to decide if they can stand together in the face of society, or if they'll let it all crash and burn.
