The Duke's Secret

After the mystery behind her sister's death, Hermione, a peasant is bent on finding out what had attacked her sister and caused her death, but there are secrets that should never be uncovered for they spell nothing but doom.

Working as a maid in the manor of the Duchess of Lancaster made her realize something was amiss. She dreads the younger son who always fixed a predatory look on her but not until the the oldest son and heir apparent to the Lancaster Dukedom returned, she was lost in the captivating depth of his eyes, the calmness of his voice and his feathery touch made her knees weak and her toes curl. She began treading the same treacherous path that might make her end up dead like her own sister.

However, she came to discover that there was something rather unsettling about both brothers, especially when a maid or maiden goes missing every fortnight. Despite her promise to her sister, Hermoine let her curiosity get the best of her. Will her snooping and quest for revenge be her own folly or will she uncover the truth that has been hidden for a thousand years?
