Garrick Alexander Attenbrough II, The Duke of Windstrom, is in search of a wife. 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.
