The Perfect Duke

By G.G. Lacoste

The Duke was thinking to himself as all of these thoughts flowed through his head while he continued to paint his passion-fueled, beautifully artistic portrait of Katherine. The Duke never believed in love at first sight, and in fact, found it to be rather silly and ridiculous. However, after meeting Katherine, he definitely had a much clearer understanding of why many people believed in it so passionately. For some reason, it all just made sense, as he could find no other explanation that made sense of why he had, for some reason, been deeply drawn to the maid like a moth being drawn to her flame. If the entire "love at first sight" thing did, in fact, exist, she was his living proof.

The Perfect Duke

Oxford Manor Erotic Romance Novel (Sir Edward, the Duke, Lady Rosamund, the Duchess, and Her Maid, Katherine)

It was a rather cold, foggy and misty afternoon on the wealthier side of London, where the majority of noses belonging to its population of residents tended to point upwards, towards the cloudy, gray English sky. Duke Edward Wilton - or more formally, the Duke of Oxford - was solemnly standing on the balcony of his home, the Oxford Manor, admiring the view of the lush, green countryside. It was his last night living independently without a Duchess at his side, and tomorrow he was to wed Lady Rosamund Andrews - but not by personal choice, of course. You see his parents, who had the whole thing completely arranged for their long-eligible son, had pushed the Duke into this unwanted matrimony.

––––––––

Lady Rosamund came from a well known, respectable, and of course, impeccably wealthy family - the Andrews. Rosamund's father owned a railroad company and had made an impressively astounding fortune off his booming railroad business, which led to him gaining the title of being one of the richest men in all of England. His daughter, Rosamund was 21 years old, and was quite the catch with her attractive appearance, porcelain-fair skin, light blonde hair, and her lovely figure. However, although this young lady was young, wealthy, reputable and attractive, Edward wanted something far more meaningful than merely exterior appearance and status. He had high hopes that his bride and soon-to-be married companion also had an equally attractive personality.

He hoped that they'd be a good match, and above all, that she would turn out to be the woman of his dreams who he would fall desperately in love with. Duke Edward was a hopeless romantic at heart, and always envisioned his marriage to be the conclusion of him meeting the woman of his dreams, and sharing a mutual burning passion of love with his significant other.

However, his parents on the other hand, were far from being romantics or dreamers, and only wanted one thing: for their son, the Duke to be married to a wealthy young woman from a respectable and reputable family, who would in turn, become the Duchess of Oxford. They would then live together as the Duke and the Duchess, and start a family together in his family's estate, the Oxford Manor.

As Duke Edward was standing on his balcony, admiring the view of his family's beautiful countryside estate overlooking the hills, his butler, Geoffrey approached him.
