Heart-warming sequel to LORD OF LOYALTY, Book 2 in the TRYSTS AND TREACHERY series on Amazon
Hampstead, August 1586
"My sweet, will you not kiss me?"
Mistress Paulina Mathieson stared at the man who had lured her away from both home and family. Claude, the Comte de Velors, had turned her head with promises of marriage and untold happiness, and being the possessor of a broken heart at that time, she'd hung on his every word. There was an element of revenge, too, in her decision to elope with him-Will Cavendish had spurned her, and must take some of the blame.

That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's.
