“Pretend to be My fiancée for One Night,” the Duke said— Unaware He Will Change Her Life Forever

Step into the winter of 1816, where snow drifts against candlelit windows and the halls of Ashcombe Estate whisper with scandal and longing.
Tonight, a 45-year-old widowed Duke, burdened by grief and hunted by scheming relatives, makes a shocking request to the last woman society would expect—his humble 23-year-old governess.

He needs her to pretend to be his fiancée for a single night.

Not for love.
Not for comfort.
But to save his children from being taken away.

Yet the moment she agrees, he gives her one rule—a rule that steals her breath and changes everything:

“You must allow me to look at you as though I have loved you for years.”

What begins as a desperate plan becomes a slow-burn waltz of forbidden tenderness, glittering ballrooms, whispered danger, and a love neither of them meant to feel. As political rivals close in and a vicious Baron threatens the Duke’s guardianship, the governess must face the ton with dignity sharper than any blade. And when the night reaches its breaking point… he finally speaks the truth he’s hidden behind duty and grief.
