The Duke's Secret Heiress

Forced Proximity Historical Romance

She is running from being sold into marriage and ends up on the doorstep of a brooding duke who despises intrusions and looks like sin in a tailored coat.

He’s powerful, arrogant, and completely off-limits in every way that matters.

They argue. They clash. They circle each other like enemies who notice far too much.
Then the storm traps her in his house and she makes a spectacularly reckless mistake.
She sleeps with him and pretend she can walk away afterward.

She hides in a village. She lies about her name. She tries to be practical and brave.
He finds her anyway, furious, protective, and impossible to ignore.

He shields her from the man hunting her.

He listens when no one ever has.

He looks at her like she’s not disposable.

That’s when she falls.

And now the baron wants her back, society wants to ruin her, and the duke risks everything to claim her.
Worst part?

She’s carrying his child — and if anyone finds out, they both lose everything.
