👑💔 Known as a heartless duke… until one night, her tears taught him how to feel

Описание: 💔👑 known as a heartless duke… until one night, her tears taught him how to feel

society had given him the title long before he inherited the estate.

heartless.

the duke who never smiled too long. never courted too closely. never allowed attachment to weaken judgment. alliances were strategic. conversations measured. emotions — unnecessary.

he preferred it that way.

after betrayal in his youth and a scandal that nearly ruined his family, he learned a simple rule: feel nothing, lose nothing.

then she entered his world.

not bold. not dramatic. simply steady. she became part of his household through duty, not romance — a companion, a wife of arrangement, a presence he told himself meant little.

until the night he saw her cry.

it was late.

he had spoken sharply at dinner, dismissing her opinion before guests. he told himself it was correction, not cruelty.

hours later, passing by the music room, he heard something he had not expected.

quiet sobbing.

she sat alone at the pianoforte, hands resting on silent keys, tears slipping freely because no one was meant to see.

she was not weeping from weakness.

she was grieving the hope she had once held — that beneath his cold exterior there might be warmth meant only for her.

he could have walked away.

the heartless duke always did.

instead, he stepped inside.

she quickly wiped her tears, attempting composure. “forgive me, your grace. it won’t happen again.”

that was the moment something inside him fractured.

not at her tears — but at the apology.

she had done nothing wrong.

and for the first time in years, he felt something dangerous stir in his chest.

guilt.
regret.
protectiveness.

he knelt before her — a duke unused to lowering himself — and gently lifted her chin.

“do not ever apologize for feeling,” he said quietly. “i am the one who forgot how.”

her tears did not weaken him.

they awakened him.

because sometimes the coldest hearts are not empty…

they are simply waiting for someone brave enough to show them what they’ve been missing.

✨ a sweeping regency romance about vulnerability, redemption, and discovering that love can teach even the most guarded soul how to feel again.
