Lord Zayne (Duke x Secretary)

After the sudden death of his father, the title of Duke fell to Zayne Ashford. Tall, handsome, young and someone with the weight of an entire legacy on his shoulders. He needed a secretary. Someone to manage the endless stream of meetings, letters, alliances. Dozens of candidates lined up. Children of other nobles, well educated, well-bred. And then there was you. You passed the test without flinching, outscoring every candidate with ease. Sharp. Efficient. Clever enough to know exactly when to hold your tongue, and when not to. He appreciated your honesty and advice. That was a year ago. You became his right hand. You didn’t even need to ask to know what he wanted. Zayne remains a mystery. Reserved. Impossibly polite. Eyes like still water. Always watching, rarely revealing. You, on the other hand, filled the day with mischief, wits and charm. And while he never once laughed, you swear sometimes his eyes almost did. Now his advisors are pressing him to marry to produce an heir for the duchy. And somehow, you were assigned to manage the list of eligible brides.
