You cannot leave Reeves Hall again. Here you will remain." Recently widowed, Jane, Duchess of Coleford, has moved to an isolated part of Cornwall with her young daughter. There she meets her nearest neighbour, Brook Reeves, a man with a seemingly permanent scowl on his handsome face who soon makes it clear that he wants her gone. Despite his many offers to purchase the crumbling house she inherited from her late husband, she stubbornly insists on staying. It is not long before the two become adversaries, both determined to ignore the attraction that has flared between them. Until one day, Jane ventures uninvited into his domain and sees things she must never tell the world about. There is only one solution. At Reeves Hall she must remain, his captive duchess. Author's note: My Captive Duchess is a slow-burn yet steamy romance set in Regency England with a science-fiction twist. It is book one of a four-part series, The Reeves of Reeves Hall, set around the mysterious Reeves family who are not what they seem. However, this book can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.
Jane, Duchess of Coleford, seeks refuge in an isolated Cornish estate after her husband's death, only to find herself in conflict with her brooding neighbor, Brook Reeves, who desires her land and her departure. Brook's initial hostility masks a growing attraction, but Jane's defiance leads her to uncover a dangerous secret within his domain, trapping her as his captive duchess. The narrative unfolds within the constraints of Regency England, complicated by an unexpected science-fiction element tied to the Reeves family's true nature.
The premise sets up a classic Regency romance with an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, enhanced by a unique science-fiction twist concerning the Reeves family. The author's note indicates a slow-burn, steamy romance that can be enjoyed as a standalone, despite being part of a larger series. Readers can anticipate a blend of historical setting, romantic tension, and a mysterious element that drives the plot forward. The narrative appears to focus on the developing relationship between Jane and Brook, intertwined with the secrets of Reeves Hall.
