❄️👑 SHE CALLED HIM THE MOST MADDENING DUKE… SIX MONTHS LATER, THE MIRROR SHOWED THE UNTHINKABLE

Описание: Duke Jasper, the Duke of Hastings, lived by one unyielding creed:

Control is the only path to safety.

He avoided chaos. He avoided weakness. He avoided every reckless emotion that could lead to catastrophe.

But one woman would challenge his world with nothing but a fierce intellect and an unforgivable mouth.

Not Felicia Thelwell—the sharp-witted daughter of a bankrupt family, who guarded her dignity like a fortress. Not the Duke himself, whose impeccable auburn hair was always styled with a deep side part, whose striking light blue eyes were trained on strategic perfection.

It began with a lie.

Duke Jasper returned from war with a trauma—the loss of his younger brother—that demanded he protect every vulnerable soul he encountered.

He wanted order. He wanted silence. He wanted to secure Felicia’s future without her knowing he was involved.

And he had his eye on one tedious suitor in particular:

Algernon Jenkins. Rich. Vain. Dangerous.

Felicia, facing down Jenkins at a crowded reception, was prepared to ruin herself with a witty retort rather than accept his patronage. The Duke watched. Calculated. And then intervened with absolute, maddening authority.

He dismissed Jenkins, but then turned his sharp features and clean-shaven jaw toward Felicia and demanded her obedience.

Felicia’s polite manners curdled instantly.

She recoiled, her eyes blazing with defiance, and hissed:

“I would rather be RUINED by my own hand than saved by yours! You are the most maddening man I ever laid my eyes on!”

That challenge sealed their fate.

Because the maddening man who claimed her authority—Duke Jasper—

Was the only man who could secure her safety.

And the only woman who accepted his raw, desperate love— who stood by him when his discipline failed, who offered comfort when he sobbed with guilt, who forced him to choose truth over duty—

Was Felicia Thelwell.

The woman he claimed in a scandalous dawn wedding, making her the Duchess of Hastings before the Ton could even start their whisper.

This is a story of:

✨ A Duke who sacrifices honour for love ✨ A heroine whose wit is a shield for her vulnerability ✨ A love forged in passionate conflict and letters ✨ A maddening man who learns partnership is stronger than command ✨ A love built on absolute truth, not social fiction

If you believe honesty is the highest stake… If you adore intense, high-conflict romance… If you love stories where the hero is utterly destroyed by his devotion—

This journey was written for you.
