Publisher's Synopsis
DUCHESS I always wanted to have a big family. That's why I created my own. My husband is my heart. My mom is my ribs. My kids . . . They are the air I breathe. Without them, I'm not whole. Everyone has dark secrets, yet mine are the kind of life-altering skeletons that could threaten the very mission I've spent my entire life fighting. My children think they know my story, but they don't. Not all of it. Not the parts that would make them question everything they know in life. My constant has been my love for Stan and that's a truth I'll always share. STANLEY I would move heaven and earth for my family. Yet, for Duchess, I wouldn't hesitate to give my life and soul in exchange for her to continue to grow the Crowne legacy. She may have taken my last name, but she made it worth more than I ever could have imagined. Years ago, I vowed to spend eternity fighting by her side for missions close to our hearts. Our children think they know our story, but they don't. We had a life before them. One many aren't aware of. My love for Duchess has only gotten stronger, but now it seems the past has caught up with the present. Contains mature themes.
