Duke Sothbridge's Vessel

Tricking the wrong man into an arranged marriage isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. My name is Colby Witherington.

Tricking the wrong man into an arranged marriage isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. My name is Colby Witherington. It’s 2023 but I still live in a world of lords & ladies, balls & arranged marriages. It’s all very regency, except men marry men & magic is involved. Desperate times called for desperate measures. I’m twenty-one and still unwed. Vessels are always married to a mage on their eighteenth birthday. It’s tradition. One I want to take part in. I long to surrender my body and my magic to a mage. But when I was seventeen my first fiance got himself killed in a car crash, days before our wedding. Leaving me in this mess. I’ve tried everything and it’s been years. So tricking the lovely Duke Rakewell into a compromising situation at a ball is my last option. But it’s Duke Sothbridge who falls into my trap and is forced to propose to me. Evil, cruel Duke Southbridge who ravished Lord Garrington’s vessel on a balcony and fought a duel over it. Him. I’m engaged in an arranged marriage to him. What on earth am I going to do?
