"I will guard her with my life," the Duke swore. Yet she was only a runaway girl from the Gold Coast, and he was England's most desired bachelor. But when Alexander Cavendish found himself drawn to Ekua's laughter in his gardens and her stories of faraway lands, he realized he was no longer the cold, untouchable Duke society believed him to be.
She had fled a father's betrayal and a stepmother's cruelty. He had buried his heart beneath duty and grief. Together, they discovered a love strong enough to shatter prejudice, heal wounds, and defy the whispers of London's elite.
But when secrets resurface truths that could destroy them both will love still be enough?
