The Duke's Gambit: Redeeming Isolde
By Robert King
Synopsis
Ethan Blake, a Wall Street hotshot with a ruthless reputation, finds himself reborn into the gilded cage of 19th-century England as Lord Ashworth, a pawn in a high-society game. He's destined to be jilted by his betrothed, Lady Isolde Fairmont, the notorious 'Ice Queen' and villainess of the season, in favor of a charming debutante. But Ethan, armed with future knowledge and a surprising conscience, refuses to play his assigned role. He sees through Isolde's icy facade to the loneliness and manipulation beneath. Determined to rewrite their story and protect her from a tragic fate, Ethan must navigate treacherous social currents, unravel hidden conspiracies, and defy the expectations of an entire era… all while falling for the woman he was supposed to abandon.
