The Duchess who Tames her Husband

Being transported into the world of a novel and reaching its conclusion was exhilarating.
If things had gone according to the original plot, I would have triumphed in the final battle and had a happy ending.

“Come here.”
Her voice, laden with sweet temptation, resonated deeply within me, sending a chill down my spine. Very discreetly.
