Secret Wardrobe Of The Duchess

Rubica, the daughter of a baronet, finds her life turned upside down when a powerful Duke proposes to her through a royal special permission certificate, effectively forcing her into a marriage she never desired. Trapped in a household that ignores her agency and faced with a future she detests, Rubica recalls a past life of suffering and realizes she must take control of her destiny.

Determined to escape a union that feels like a prison, Rubica resolves to run away, hoping to reach an abbey and reunite with the man who holds her heart, Arman. With only a bag of meager belongings and a secret, she must navigate a world of political maneuvers and social expectations to save herself from a fate she would rather die than accept.
