Forgotten & Remembered: The Duke's Late Wife (Book 1)
What readers say:
🌹“I found myself finishing this book between the time it took to drop my kid off at school and pick him up again. I guess the dishes will have to wait.”
🌹“I might not re-read this one as often as I re-read Pride and Prejudice, but I haven't read it for the last time.” 🌹“There are a few memorable passages that express deep truths worth remembering.”Watching them sweep across the room, Graham noticed a strange
tightening in his chest as he beheld his wife's delighted face, looking
up into his friend's eyes. His jaw tensed, and he took a deep breath to
still his nerves.And so instead of instantly seeking his wife's
company, Graham intercepted his friend once the music came to an end.
Trying to remain unobtrusive, he offered him a drink, which Edmond
downed in one gulp. "You seemed parched," he observed, narrowly looking
at his friend. "Was dancing with my wife so tiresome?"Instantly, Edmond's head snapped up, his eyes narrowing as they slid over Graham's face. "Jealous?"As his pulse sped up, Graham laughed. "Do not be absurd!"A
delighted smile broke out on Edmond's face, and Graham knew that he had
lost. "She looks at me as a friend, a brother even." He nodded, placing
a hand on Graham's shoulder. "You have nothing to fear." Then Edmond's
eyes shifted up, staring past his shoulder. "At least not from me."His heart in a tight grip, Graham turned around and took a deep breath. "Who is she talking to? Is that Baron Northfield?""It
is," Edmond confirmed. "You should keep an eye on her!" Then he turned
to look at Graham, and another grin spread across his features. "But
you've been doing that anyway, haven't you?" Laughing, he marched off.
They married for duty. Neither expected love to follow. Graham Astor, Duke of Kensington, has buried his heart beneath loss. His days are lived in silence, his nights in solitude. What he needs is a mother for his daughter—not a companion. Not a love story. So he chooses Rosabel: quiet, obedient, forgettable. Or so he thinks.
She entered the marriage knowing nothing of love—least of all her own. Rosabel was never asked what she wanted. Her uncle made the match. Society whispered. And she obeyed. At the altar, she met her husband for the first time—and feared him instantly. But behind Graham’s cold stare is a man fighting ghosts. And behind Rosabel’s timid façade is a woman with more strength than anyone ever noticed.
Together, they learn that love doesn’t arrive loudly—but sometimes, it stays quietly. As Rosabel draws close to Graham’s daughter, her warmth begins to chip away at the stone around his heart. And Graham sees not a wallflower—but a woman he didn’t know he was waiting for. Yet love asks for risk. And trusting again isn’t easy when you’ve both decided it isn’t for you.
He never thought he’d love again. She never thought she’d be loved at all.
🕊️ If you’ve ever made peace with a life that felt like less—and slowly dared to hope for more… this story is yours.
