She prepared for a cold, loveless marriage… until the Duke’s single act made her fall in love

She entered the marriage with steady hands and guarded expectations. Everyone had warned her what life beside the Duke would be—formal, distant, untouched by tenderness. He was known for discipline, not devotion. For duty, not affection. So she prepared herself for polite silence, separate lives, and a heart carefully kept out of reach. She would be a proper duchess. Nothing more. But love rarely announces itself in grand declarations. It revealed itself in a single, unexpected act. A quiet defense when others whispered against her. A hand extended when she faltered. A choice—made publicly—that placed her dignity above reputation. In that brief moment, the mask of cold authority slipped, and she glimpsed the man beneath the title. It was not passion that made her fall. It was kindness. And from that single act, her carefully guarded heart began to hope that perhaps this marriage would not be loveless after all.
