Disrupting the Duke

The historical backdrop adds so much flavor to the characters' motivations. I'm curious whether real events or settings influenced the story's worldbuilding.

Their banter and tension really drew me in, but I wondered if the author intended to make their connection feel so immediate or if it developed over the story.

The story explores class distinctions but also focuses on personal growth. I'm interested in how those themes were woven together during the writing process.
