Desired by the Duke: An Age Play Romance

Whitby, 1835

Running for her life, Lady Eleanor Risby is forced to leave the noble life behind in a desperate effort to escape the men who killed her parents and are hunting for her. Her only hope lies in the house of the one man she can trust, a man she vowed never to speak to again.

The last thing the Duke of Ryedale needed was a reminder of the life he left behind, a world of wealth and privilege that has neither forgotten nor forgiven his crimes. But as the very first steam train heads towards Whitby, it brings with it the woman he's spent a lifetime trying to forget.

Bound by a childhood vow, the Duke promises Eleanor she will be safe with him. But when she discovers the truth about his new life, she must make a decision. Will she leave his side and risk both their lives or remain in his care and accept the Duke's dark desires?
