She requests one final indulgence—a discreet affair before the separation, granting her a fleeting taste of liberty and the chance to experience genuine affection.
During this time, Roxanne encounters a mysterious masked gentleman who appears to understand her deepest longings. His kindness and attentiveness stir something within her, yet there’s an uncanny familiarity about him that she can’t quite place. As their connection deepens, she begins to question whether fate has brought them together—or if there’s more to his identity than meets the eye.
Caught between duty and desire, Roxanne must navigate the delicate balance of her final days as a Duchess while uncovering the truth behind the enigmatic stranger who awakens emotions she never knew she possessed.
