Overview

Elowen arrives in the countryside with one plan: stay invisible, stay proper, and organize a duke's disastrous estate from the safety of ink and paper. It should be simple-until Thomas, the newly titled Duke of Ashcombe, proves impossible to manage. He's charming, impulsive, and forever in motion... and somehow Elowen's ""temporary arrangement"" turns into being dragged through muddy fields, village emergencies, and one very offended animal with alarming speed. As Elowen tries to restore order, she discovers the chaos isn't only Thomas's personality-it's in the estate itself. Gates fail too neatly. Letters look tampered with. Repairs repeat without reason. Then a footbridge used by local children nearly collapses, and what looked like bad luck begins to look like something far more deliberate. With the whole village watching and officials circling, Elowen must keep her head, keep the records, and keep up with a duke who doesn't know how to stand still when people are in danger. But Elowen has her own secret-one that could ruin her faster than any broken bridge. By day, she's a shy secretary with steady hands and sharper instincts than anyone expects. By night, she writes scandalously popular romance under a hidden pen name. When a copy of her published novel lands in the duke's study, the danger shifts from muddy mishaps to whispered reputations... and the man she's trying to control might be the one who gets closest to the truth. Perfect for readers who love Regency-inspired romcoms with cozy village chaos, witty slow-burn tension, grumpy-sunshine energy flipped on its head (chaotic duke / anxious but secretly daring heroine), and high-stakes ""close calls"" that stay light, funny, and swoony-especially fans of workplace romance, dual POV banter, and stories where competence is the most irresistible kind of seduction.
