The Princess & The Duke

A Regency Historical Romance

A hunted princess. A reluctant duke. A secret that could cost them everything.

When a brutal coup destroys the kingdom of Edelreich, Princess Elena Vinteren is forced to flee for her life—carrying her father’s final command:

Run. Vanish. You are now the crown.

Alone and hunted, she escapes across the Atlantic to Boston, hiding behind a false name and a quiet position as a governess. Her past must remain buried.

Because if she is found… she will not escape again.

Jonathan Ashbourne never wanted the weight of a title. A duke in name but not in spirit, he lives by his own code—fairness over power, truth over tradition.

But the moment Elena enters his home, something shifts.

She is not what she seems.

Her silence hides something deeper.
Her strength feels hard-won.
And the secrets she carries are far more dangerous than he realizes.

As trust grows into something neither of them can ignore, the life Elena has carefully built begins to fracture.

Because the past is not done with her.

And the men who destroyed her kingdom are closer than she thinks.

If the truth is revealed, Elena will lose everything—
her freedom, her future…
and the man she is falling for.

A sweeping historical romance of hidden identity, political intrigue, and a love tested by danger, distance, and destiny.
