The Widowed Duchess: Sweet Regency Romance Clean Fantasy Short Stories

FREE 40-BOOK SWEET AND CLEAN HISTORICAL ROMANCE BUNDLE INCLUDED

Gentleman or Duke, she should not have turned him away. It had been foolishness on her part to think that there was any significance in his pretence. Of course, she had been ill used before, but not all men were like her late husband, and she had to learn to understand the difference between his treatment of her, and any future relationship.
She had been wrong to think that she was ready to woo again, she was not, unless that wooer happened to be the Duke of Barnborough. She had been stuck into the past, unable to walk away from her marriage or its failures. At least the Duke had taught her that there was more to society than vigilance and self-protection. She had something of a future to look forward to, and if she could find someone to share that future, then she might have a chance of real happiness this time.
