The Duke’s Reckoning: A Historical Romance Novel (VEXLEYS Book 1)

“My entire life has been defined by obligations, toward family, tenants, and the expectations of society.”

Sebastian Vexley, the unyielding Duke of Vexwood, has lived his life by one creed: sacrifice desire for the sake of duty. Every decision he’s made has been for the preservation of his family’s legacy, even if it’s left his own heart frozen.

Yet when a fierce winter storm strands him with Clara Talbot, the village’s fiercely principled and disarmingly clever governess, his carefully ordered world begins to fracture. She challenges his every belief, sees the man beneath the title, and sparks a longing he has spent years denying.

But with an advantageous marriage looming and the weight of his family’s future pressing on his shoulders, Sebastian must choose between the life he’s sworn to protect… and the woman who could set his heart ablaze.

In a world where scandal can ruin everything, one reckless choice could change the Vexley legacy forever.

Begin the journal with “The Duke’s Winter Reckoning”, book one of the Vexley Siblings series, each novel is a captivating romance, each tangled in family, honor, and the dangerous temptation of the heart.
