John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees.

The New Duchess. by Ravenna_Inlove

Walking alone in this world, I am a Duke, a Knight, sworn to protect the kingdom, and the people who reside in it. After saving the kingdom from the rage of the Gods, the king has favored me and took it upon himself that I find a wife, to give an heir to the Runerth bloodline. Five women were chosen, one of them to be my bride. When I saw her, all my senses were focused on her, nothing could've driven me away from that haze. Her allure, her scent, her gaze. Everything about her drew me in. Though, I sense unease in her, fear and worry. What life did you have to endure to be feeling such distress? I have fought the Gods, and I was victorious, but I fear that her mere touch is enough to reduce me to ashes. I will be your knight, my lady. And you, you shall be my Duchess. (There was another Description to this, but Wattpad decided to mess with me, and deleted it, putting in the story details of another story I wrote, so- I apologize if it seems messy or rushed, because it was.)
