Un duca in fuga

The setting feels so authentic and lively — I wonder if this was based on personal research or a vivid imagination. Did it influence the romance’s development?

His impulsiveness made me root for him but also worried about the consequences. Was this tension intentional to highlight his redemption arc?

This classic trope was freshened up in a way that kept me guessing. I’d love to know if it stemmed from a specific historical story or a creative spark.
