The Lost Lady and the Crimson Duke
Justine, a disgraced noble’s hidden daughter, works secretly as Elise, a seamstress, at the Royal Palace. The Princess’s Royal necklace is stolen on the wedding day, and Justine is wrongly accused of the crime. Facing ruin, Justine is saved by Lord Shimeon De Castille, the King’s nephew, who offers her sanctuary until her name is cleared. While grateful for his kindness, Justine unwillingly begins to develop feelings for Lord Shimeon. However, a painful past relationship makes her wary, compelling her to maintain an emotional distance as she fears falling in love again is too great a risk.
