Genre: Romance Historical

112 pages

A duke.
A baker’s daughter.
And a secret that could destroy them both — or finally make her whole.

Chester Stockton, Duke of Wyndale, controls the flour that feeds London. He sets the policies, signs the circulars, and keeps the docks running like clockwork. What he doesn’t do is lose his head over a woman behind a pastry counter.
Until he does.

Lady Barbara Beaumont is everything society expects — polished, careful, perfectly behaved. What society doesn’t know is that she slips away every morning to knead dough in her father’s Harley Street pâtisserie, wage war on the Flour Duke in anonymous letters, and live the only life that feels real. She has managed the secret beautifully.

Then he walks through her door. Twice.

They shouldn’t want each other. He is strangling her father’s livelihood with a stroke of his pen on his policies. She is the last woman a duke should notice — with a limp, uncertain prospects, and a French baker for a father she is not supposed to have. But Chester sees both halves of her and wants them equally. And Pepper — because that is who she really is — is running out of reasons to keep him at arm’s length.
