The Duke's Dear Poet

When Lady Abigail Clark was left at the altar, she ran away to North Wales to heal her wounds by her grandma’s side and do the only thing that makes her happy; read and write poetry. Despite her efforts to stay away from the humiliation, her father summons her home two years later to make a new match with Nigel Cornworthy, a man she has absolutely no interest in. Her luck is about to change when she shares a dance with a charming Duke, who will make her heart skip a beat.

Will Abigail dare to open her heart again? Will she manage to escape the dreary future her father has in stock for her and choose her own path in life?
After his father passed away, Hamish Gilbert finds himself saddled with the title of Duke, feeling trapped in an undesirable transition. However, when he meets Abigail, he feels like a whole new brighter world opens up ahead. Nevertheless, with his mother insisting he marries the daughter of her old friend, will Hamish allow his secret feelings to determine his future?

Two soulmates full of hope who are in danger of mourning their dreams…

Though Abigail and Hamish instantly feel a strong connection between them, their social statuses and family expectations may prove too difficult to overcome. Even if they choose to follow their own paths, they still have to decide if they can trust their love enough to take that risk. Will Abigail and Hamish be able to leave their fears of being hurt behind and find true love? Or will they realise that despite their efforts, the threats around this relationship are too many to defeat?
