Jared L. Windburg

The 13th Duke of Windburg, known as the “King of the North,” and heir to thirteen titles.

Master of the grand Maxville Estate, an ancestral home with 800 years of history.

A man who had failed spectacularly in his first love.

“I am considering hosting a ball.”

Faced with the unavoidable duty of producing an heir, the Duke of Windburg decides to hold a ball to select a duchess.

He chooses Roselyn Eleanor Fairfield, the eldest daughter of a viscount.

“Expect nothing. That way, you won’t be disappointed.”

Thus begins a marriage bound by duty.

Tuesday nights become the designated time for their sole obligation: to produce an heir.

As the weeks pass, the Duke, who views it merely as a duty, and the Duchess, who dutifully plays her part, find their lives increasingly entwined with these Tuesday nights.
