She fell through a locked desk. She landed in his war.Vivian Colton has spent eleven years making other people's houses feel like home, and never once asked herself what she wanted for her own. She is efficient, useful, and very good at being exactly what a room, or a client, or a fiance needs her to be. Wanting things for herself has never been part of the arrangement.Then a locked campaign desk at a Wiltshire estate sale swallows her whole, and she wakes up a hundred and forty seven years in the past, kneeling on the floor of a study while a man she has never met levels a pistol at her chest and demands to know how she got there.Nicholas Ashworth, Duke of Kestrel, has spent a decade guarding a secret the whole county is desperate to unearth. His fiancee vanished without a trace a week before their wedding, ten years ago, and a cousin with everything to gain is finally close to forcing the courts to rule on what became of her, and of him. He has no reason to trust a woman who appears out of solid air in his study at midnight. Except that she looks, impossibly, like the portrait he cannot bring himself to take down.Vivian does not know how she got to 1819, or how to get home. She only knows that every hour she stays in Nicholas's crumbling, half forgotten house, she becomes a little harder to explain, and a great deal harder to leave. As his enemies circle and the truth about his lost fiancee edges closer to the surface, Vivian will have to decide whether the life she has stumbled into, and the guarded, grieving duke at the center of it, is a life she is willing to vanish from herself all over again.Perfect for readers who love: - Regency time travel romance- A guarded, grieving hero with a decade old secret- A decisive, capable heroine who finally gets to want something- A slow burn built on trust, not misunderstanding- A country house mystery with real stakesThe Duke's Vanished Fiancee is a full length, standalone Regency time travel romance with a swoon worthy happily ever after.
