The Duke's Timeless Desire
Updated at Mar 28, 2026, 14:45
Dr. Amelia Hayes, a brilliant modern historian, knew everything about Regency England... until she woke up living it. One moment, she was researching Lady Eleanor Vance, a notorious 19th-century noblewoman. Next, a blinding flash of light catapulted her into 1818, trapped in Eleanor's corset and her scandalous reputation. Suddenly, Amelia's 21st-century wit, independence, and absolute refusal to conform are crashing headfirst into the rigid rules of Regency London, leading to hilariously awkward encounters and outrageously compromising situations. Her only hope of survival—and perhaps, a way back to her own time—lies in unraveling Eleanor’s mysterious past before history claims her life. But when her path collides with Alaric, the formidable Duke of Blackwood, Amelia finds herself caught in a different kind of danger. Brooding, powerful, and infuriatingly attractive, Alaric’s piercing gaze sees far too much, and his touch ignites a primal passion that transcends centuries. He suspects Eleanor is not who she seems, yet he cannot deny the intoxicating pull that defies all logic. As a deadly conspiracy surrounding Eleanor's original fate begins to unfurl, Amelia must navigate a treacherous world of glittering ballrooms and dark secrets, all while fighting a desperate battle against her undeniable desire for the Duke. Can a woman from the future change the past and find a love she was destined for, or will the secrets of the ton—and her own burning heart—consume her entirely?
