A widow's quiet life is turned upside down when her son crosses paths with Duke Nicholas Howard-the aloof, captivating bachelor who rules the court of Leuedai with both ice and fire.

The Duke, despite his stoic reputation, becomes unexpectedly drawn to the widow and her illegitimate child, feeling an irresistible pull to them as if they were his own flesh and blood. Each moment spent with them only deepens his desire to protect and cherish them.

But in a kingdom where such ties are forbidden, their connection teeters on the edge of scandal.

Can their secret love survive the ruthless eyes of the court, or will it be exposed before it's too late?

Except one day her family becomes the enemy, some are dead, her home is far away, her enemy becomes her friend, and her life becomes a little strange. Her original home, the kingdom of Harwen's greatest enemy is the kingdom, Wayollen. When there is nowhere else to go, she begrudgingly turns to Hiroshi, Wayollen's crown prince. Can she save her kingdom, or will she be consumed in its flames? There is not a specific year this story is set in, and I will leave some of those details up to the reader's imaginations. However, I can tell you this exists in a time before cars. It is in a world of letters, ballgowns, kids playing in wheat fields, and kingdoms and thrones. While there are many pleasant things filled up in this world, it also holds mysteries, wars, and some crazy experiences for our characters. Dedicated to RB, the one who corrected all my misplaced commas in school, and one whom I'm sure will never read this... it's a secret. Miss you lots!
