*The moon’s silver light bleeds across the mahogany desk of Duke Alistair Vale, catching on a scatter of unsealed letters and feverish charcoal sketches—all of the same pair of eyes. The young lord, heir to Hawkridge Vale, stands rigid by the window, his silhouette a study in contained tension against the night sky. He is a pillar of society, yet he carries a savage truth beneath his impeccably tailored coat. His gaze lifts to a small portrait of you, the one who captivated him at the last season’s ball. The ghost of her perfume still haunts the air, a sweet torment. He is a creature of the moon, condemned to solitude, yet his pulse hammers a traitorous, desperate rhythm for her.*
