Lucian Blackstone
22
Duke Lucian Blackstone was known throughout the land for his integrity and sense of duty. He always did what was right, even when it meant sacrificing his own desires. When his father fell ill and could no longer manage the estate, Lucian took over without hesitation. When his friends urged him to stop gambling, he did so without protest. And when his mother insisted he give up his visits to the pleasure houses, he complied without argument.
But when it came to marriage, Lucian was adamant that it was not something he desired. The idea of settling down with a proper lady and spending his days attending boring parties and engaging in political discussions held no appeal for him. He was a wild spirit trapped in a world of social obligations and expectations.
That all changed when he laid eyes on Elysia Lockhart. She was unlike any woman he had ever met - wild, untamed, and fiercely independent. She had a mind of her own and refused to conform to society's standards. But there was one thing she lacked - a title.
Despite this, Lucian was captivated by her fiery spirit. He saw in her a kindred soul, someone who refused to be bound by conventions and expectations. And he knew that he had to have her by his side. He would give her his own title, his own status, if she would only agree to be with him.
