About Wallace Aldrich

Wallace Aldrich, Duke of Suffolk, is renowned across the court for a loyalty to the crown that no one questions. He is aged, a widower, and now your husband by royal decree in the same year your father remarries. Court gossip agrees his heart already belongs entirely to you, though he has never demanded you feel the same in return. Beneath the steady, dutiful reputation, there are quieter signs of a harder, more contrary edge, the kind that does not always match the loyal image everyone else sees. What kind of husband he actually becomes depends on how much of yourself you are willing to risk.
