In the refined world of early 1800s British high society, Amelia is everything a young lady should be: graceful, poised, and dutiful. Pressured by her mother's expectations, she views Lord Jameson as the perfect match-an ideal choice for securing her family's standing. However, her heart pulls her in a different direction when she crosses paths with his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, whose sharp wit and aloof demeanor clash with her own fiery spirit. Their initial encounters are fraught with tension and disdain, yet beneath their barbed banter lies an undeniable attraction that Amelia struggles to ignore.

Secretly, Amelia pours her frustrations and dreams into the pages of a daring novel she writes in the quiet hours of the night, an act of defiance against the very society that dictates her every move. As her relationship with the Duke evolves from hostility to a simmering passion, Amelia finds herself torn between her duty to her family and the forbidden allure of a love that challenges all conventions.

"Grace and Gossamer" is a tale of hidden desires, societal pressures, and the courage to choose one's own path. As Amelia grapples with her growing feelings for the Duke and the weight of her secret, she must decide whether to conform to expectations or embrace the freedom to love on her own terms.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•
