Hood Royalty. Perfect love story. Unspeakable tragedy.

Duke knew he'd found his wife the moment he laid eyes on Duchess.

Duchess wasn't looking for love when she met Duke, but she found that and so much more when she fell hard for the man the streets called The Duke of Dallas.

Duke and Duchess become hood royalty but their love story is tragically cut short when Duke is killed a month before their wedding.

After losing Duke, Duchess struggles to piece her life back together. No longer The Duchess of Dallas, she's not only forced to trade in a life of luxury for bargains and hand-me-downs, but she's also no longer protected by Duke's ruthless reputation. Duchess finds herself needing Duke now more than ever.

On a mission to avenge his brother's death, Ford sets out to kill the man responsible for Duke's murder. But what he finds along the way has the power to either break Duchess completely...or finally set her free.
