The Heir: A Forbidden Romance with a Modern-Day Duke (Belvedere Book 1)

For nine hundred years, the Dukes of Oxford have prioritized the crown, their title, and their estate, Belvedere, over personal desires. As heir to the dukedom, the protagonist has accepted an arranged engagement to a woman of noble birth, never questioning the duty expected of him. His life changes when Ivy Cooper enters it. A commoner who works at an exclusive London sex club, she is irreverent, outspoken, and dismissive of his title and obligations. Despite—or because of—her complete opposition to everything his family represents, he finds himself drawn to her in ways that threaten to upend centuries of family tradition. Faced with an impossible choice between the dukedom that has defined his entire life and a future with Ivy, he must decide whether to honor his birthright or pursue a relationship that would require him to abandon his family's expectations. The Heir is a contemporary romance featuring a duke and a commoner, with a happy ending.
