Dukeshelby Stories

Duke Shelby doesn't take kindly to being turned into a headline, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep his family's name out of print-even if that means silencing the stubborn American who refuses to leave. But Ruth isn't easily frightened, and Duke isn't as unreadable as he'd like to be. What begins as a battle of control becomes something far more dangerous. Because the closer Ruth gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell where the story ends- and where she begins. Small. Unnoticed. Easy to overlook. Until she isn't.
