Description

Adette Berse has lived many lives, but none past thirty—each ending in tragedy after she attempts marriage. Determined to break this curse, she abandons romance entirely and devotes herself to building wealth for her family instead. In a world hostile to working women, she disguises herself as a man to partner with Duke Mateilo in a business venture. The duke, captivated by her boldness, keeps seeking her out for reasons that have nothing to do with profit. Now Adette must navigate his growing interest while protecting her secret and finally reaching the age she's never lived to see.
