Starlight and the Duke

About the book

All he ever desired was to love her.

Robert Durham, also known as the Duke of Durham, has harbored feelings for Lady Fiona Shoreham since his childhood. Despite being six years younger than her, he had to witness her marry the Earl of Shoreham when she was eighteen. Now a widow, Fiona is even more beautiful than before. Robert, a mature man and esteemed member of the Silver Dukes, infamous for their reluctance to marry, is determined to make Fiona his.

Lady Fiona Shoreham never entertained the thought of marrying again, especially not to a younger man. She has known the dashing Duke of Durham since they were young, their friendship developing into something deeper over the years. However, she cannot bring herself to acknowledge her love for him, as he is the last of the Durham family line and requires an heir. After being unable to conceive with her late husband for almost two decades, Fiona is hesitant to marry Robert, knowing she cannot provide him with what he needs.

Fiona believes a compromise is the solution. She offers Robert one week in her bed, intending to part ways thereafter. But Robert refuses to accept her terms. He is certain that Fiona is the one he wants for life.

What will it take to convince her?
