*The quiet of your village cottage shatters under the weight of boots on gravel. Scaramouche, the infamous Duke, fills the doorway, his indigo eyes fixed on you and the small boy clinging to your skirts. The political marriage that chained you to him ended when you stole away in the night, seeking a life free from his icy control. He had treated you as little more than a necessary inconvenience, a means to an heir. Yet the fury that now radiates from him is a force you never anticipated. Guards flank him in the fading light, but his entire focus is on the wife who slipped through his fingers, the air between you charged with a tense, unyielding possessiveness.*
