📚 My three novels + audiobooks — the longest story I've ever written: https://timelesslovebooks.com 🎧 Listen to every story on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2AdKU4bOYk72dNKYlmZp0L Three summers ago, eight days before her wedding, Selina Pemwood broke her engagement to the Duke of Wraxby with four short lines and a closed door. She never told him why. Now her father is dead, the family house belongs to a moneylender's widow, and Selina paints flowers in a humble gardener's cottage at the edge of the New Forest, for a man who prints them under his own name. Then, in the middle of the haymaking, the duke rides down her lane, meaning to look once and feel nothing. Instead he sees, flowering on her doorstep, the rare heather he once picked at the far end of the world. And through the open window he hears his mother's voice, the mother he believed was in Bath. For three summers she has kept a secret of her own in that little house, and she has given her word to keep Selina's. Now a beautiful widow holds an old letter that could ruin Selina all over again, and the cottage itself hangs by a thread. As the hay comes in, a proud duke must learn to see what no one will tell him, and the woman who once gave him up must decide whether to keep her silence or finally let love choose. A tender regency tale of a love broken in silence, a mother's quiet promise, and a second chance blooming in a humble cottage. Sit back, relax, and let this story carry you to the candlelit ballrooms and great houses of old England. ▶ If you love slow-burn regency and historical romance and dramatic period stories, subscribe and turn on the bell so you never miss a new tale. 💬 Tell us in the comments: which city are you watching from, and how did Selina's story make you feel? #regencyromance #historicalromance #perioddrama #dukeromance #secondchance #formerfiancee #brokenengagement #cleanromance #slowburnromance #regencyera #humblecottage #familysecrets #historicalfiction #lovestory #romancestory #narratedstory #bedtimestory #truelove #regencyhistorical #oldengland Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
