Wrong Carriage, Right Duke FULL

Scorned as an unwanted burden by those around her, Lucy possesses the innocent mind of a seven-year-old. Facing a bleak future, she sets off north entirely alone.

Instead of the arranged match, she finds herself thrust into a secret identity drama and wedded to Duke Grey Edmund, a man whose formidable presence matches the stark historical Czech romance setting. This unexpected union plays directly into beloved duke romance tropes, bridging an undeniable age gap romance as their lives collide under false pretenses. The very night of their wedding, duty calls Duke Grey Edmund away to a dangerous plague zone. Left behind in the sprawling manor, Lucy does not cower.

Despite his initial coldness and abrupt departure, her vibrant presence leaves a lasting impression. Meanwhile, miles away in the plague zone, Charles is consumed by regret over abandoning his new bride. As the reality of what he left behind begins to weigh heavily on his hardened soul, the emotional stakes rise. He must grapple with the growing realization that his runaway wife is far more than a mistaken identity, leaving his future hanging in the balance as he longs to return to the estate he once fled.
