Behind every secret meeting and forbidden touch, power burns deeper than desire. The Duke’s Hidden Flame gathers six stories of temptation and defiance where nobles, soldiers, and lovers trade safety for the dangerous pull of the heart.
A duke guards a truth that could destroy his name. A rake learns what it means to surrender when love upends his world. Across eras and empires, passion breaks through duty’s iron walls. Beneath deceit and betrayal, two souls find redemption in each other’s arms. A fallen warrior discovers grace in the woman who should despise him. And within the opulent halls of the Gilded Age, lust and loyalty entwine until neither can survive alone.
These tales trace the thin edge between pleasure and peril where desire is scandal’s twin and love the most perilous secret of all. When every mask slips and loyalty falters, who will rise from the ashes of temptation?
