      The Duke's Rose

      ✿✿✿

      Chapter One

      ✿✿✿

      England, 1815

      Edward Sterling, Duke of Cromwell, ran the ducal estates ever since his father died. His wife, Elizabeth, died theree years ago. As much as he would have liked to escape the ugly truth there was no getting away from the cold, hard fact. She had fought the disease, a sickness that seemed to eat her from inside. He knew, even in the midst of his own pain, that she was better off now. Yet for some reason, his heart remained rooted in despair. Even as he reminded himself that she finally rested peacefully, he wondered if there would be something peaceful in his life again.

      Sterling retreated to the library of the old Estate. He was standing behind thick curtains of purple velvet, which protected him from view, and was reading a letter:

      My precious Edward,

      How can I show what is in my heart within a short letter? I want you to know that from the moment I met you, you became the most important thing in my life. I hope you will forgive me. I beg you not to grieve over my death. You must be strong for our children. I am happy because God has answered my prayer to give you a guardian angel. He has chosen me. I shall love you forever.

      Elizabeth

      Edward remembers... Wind whipping through his hair, he leaned forward, pushing his horse to more speed. Elizabeth's golden hair sparkled in the sun's light. Edward! Her voice travelled over the distance. Her wonderful laughter reached his ears. He pushed his horse on and soon pulled up next to hers. She leaned forward as the wind whipped through her hair. He smiled and once again pushed his horse on. The road soon levelled out, opening up to green fields. Laughing, she looked at him. Her blue eyes sparkled as she turned to look at him. For a long moment, they flew forward, side by side, eyes fixed on the other. A perfect moment, so perfect that it hurt to think of it. A moment he would see in his dreams.

      ***

      Death, a sad word. Death was the reason why Rose Hale was traveling to a governess posting. How Rose missed her parents! But she dismissed the disquieting emotions and chose instead to be hopeful; hopeful of a happy life in the years to come. She blew out an eager breath.

      Marriage. That was a subject that occupied her thoughts ! Rose longed to marry, to have a house and husband of her own, and to someday raise her children. Rose knew she woud be a wonderful wife. With her manners and kindness, any man would be proud if she was the mistress of his house.

      Reflecting upon her life, Rose realized how grateful she was that her parents had gifted to her a means of supporting herself by teaching her the importance of hard work and a strong sense of independence. Although Rose had been raised a vicar’s daughter, she had been taught to be an acomplished woman. But Rose would never have supposed she would one day end up a governess to someone else’s children.

      After her mother had joined his father in death, Rose had come to live with her uncle’s family, but from the beginning she had felt unwelcome. She knew they had only taken her in because they considered it their duty. She was, after all, family. However, both her aunt and uncle never missed an opportunity to remind her of her status. Rose never declined a request, never argued and never questioned her uncle’s authority. And yet, to this day he had never looked at her with affection, nor had her aunt. So, if she became a governess, would her uncle be relieved to be rid of a responsibility he did not ask for in the first place?

      Chapter Two

      ✿✿✿

      Rose traveled the long distance and stayed at a stuffy inn on her journey. She reminded herself that she was on a big adventure and that she would have to endure a little discomfort. She had never traveled so far or alone before and it was all new to her. There was a rough beauty about the land, and she wanted to explore more if its villages and pastoral wonders.

      Rose was awake when the carriage arrived at a stop. They had travelled for hours to get to Caddington House. She gathered herself before the coachman came to open the door for her to descend. Mr Jarvis extended a hand to help her down.

      She smiled at him, and said, Thank you, Mr Jarvis. He pulled her valise from the coach and walked with her to the entryway of an immense house.

      Rose beheld for the first time the splendor of what was to become her new home. She looked at the beauty of Caddington House, an aged stone house. Rose saw water flickering nearby; it appeared to be a lake. A profound feeling tranquility overcame her as she stared at the expanse of blue that lay before her. Rays of light moved gently over the water, birthed from the afternoon sun that made the view all the more beautiful.

      The windows of the house were oversized, mullioned and almost cathedral-like. The chimneys worked busily puffing smoke from the cozy interior to the cool evening. It's large oak door was
