Arwen
I was the "safe" bride, a shy redhead wed to the Duke of Essex to mask my sister Elizabeth’s scandals. But at the altar, Philip’s heart ignited for her, not me. On our wedding night, he vowed never to touch me, choosing to remain "faithful" to my sister while moving her into our estate as his mistress. I lived as a ghost—a virgin duchess falling for a husband who spent his nights in Beth's arms. Everything shifted at a grand ball when a dashing stranger swept me onto the floor. Seeing another man’s hand on my waist, Philip’s cold indifference finally shattered into a possessive, jealous rage. The untouched wife he discarded was suddenly the only woman he desired.
