Duchess Debauchery

After enduring years of emotional neglect from her husband, Duke Antoure, Roxina resolves to dissolve their unhappy marriage. However, she faces the grim reality that societal expectations will inevitably force her into another loveless union once the divorce is finalized. Determined to reclaim some measure of personal agency before her freedom slips away, she proposes an unconventional arrangement: a brief period of sexual autonomy during the separation proceedings. Though the Duke reluctantly consents to this temporary liberation, his agreement comes with an undercurrent of calculation that suggests he harbors hidden intentions of his own. What begins as Roxina’s attempt to assert control over her own desires quickly becomes complicated by the Duke’s enigmatic behavior and unspoken motives. As she navigates this precarious window of independence, the boundaries between empowerment and manipulation begin to blur, raising questions about whether her fleeting freedom is truly hers or merely part of a larger design. The tension between Roxina’s quest for self-determination and Antoure’s concealed agenda forms the emotional core of this mature romance, exploring themes of power, desire, and the complex negotiations within aristocratic marriages. This edition includes six additional chapters beyond the main serialization.
