The Rose and the Knight

By Luisa Duarte

A ruined reputation. A forced marriage. And a love that refuses to remain silent.

Isadora Valbourg, once a lady of grace and prestige, sees her world fall apart after a scandal that shakes the foundations of her noble family. To protect them from total disgrace, she agrees to marry the only man willing to take her hand: Tristan Hale - a rough ex-soldier with no title, but an unshakable sense of honor.

What begins as a cold arrangement slowly turns into something deeper - a battle between pride and vulnerability, duty and desire, silence and truth. In the heart of 19th-century England, two souls shaped by loss must decide if love is worth risking everything - even the remnants of their own dignity.

A story of second chances, slow-burn passion, and a rose that dared to bloom in the mud.
