The Duke's Fight For Love
“Blurb: Juliet meets Duke Jackson when she comes to love with her Aunt Elizabeth. There is a lively banter between the two and their sharp tongues are put to work. Eventually, they end up falling for each other. On the other hand, Jackson's relationship with Juliet is an abomination and cannot be allowed to continue because Juliet is not from a royal family. Already engaged to Lady Agnes, Jackson rejects her and chooses Juliet instead, turning everyone in his cabinet against him. Even his mother. Juliet is attacked in her own home and her aunt's living is threatened by the Duchess for being with Jackson. She has to make a choice between saving her aunt and loving Jackson. What will Juliet sacrifice and who will she give up? Or will she end up salvaging the both?”
