A Rose So Red

A Duke's Daughter. A Servant Boy. A forbidden romance. A kindled passion.

Arthur is a servant boy with a secret. The moment when Rose returns from school all grown up and more beautiful than he remembered, he falls in love with her. But there is no chance he could ask for her hand in marriage. Rose is the cherished daughter of the esteemed Duke, while Arthur is but a lowly servant, destined to tread paths forbidden to noble hearts. Despite the chasm that separates them, Arthur's devotion burns ever brighter.

When the Royal Society announces a new flower competition with a cash prize Arthur knows his roses could win. That money could change everything. It could give him the life and the love he wants. While Arthur puts his plan into motion, Rose dreads that she may have to marry a stranger. Rose agrees to go to London with her mother but doesn't intend to marry someone she doesn't love.
