The Transported Duke

They'll have to find their way back home
Lady Matilda Henley saw everything she took for granted crumble down two years prior when her betrothed was found guilty of murder and transported to Australia. Taking refuge in the country this whole time, she grew tired of watching life pass by her; so she decided to do something about it. Like travelling incognito all the way to Australia to find her former betrothed and rekindle what she thought to be love. As she meets a brawny Hadrian, however, she realises that the fantasies she'd nursed these past years didn't survive the cold light of reality. Satisfied that she got at least a closure, she is ready to return to England and set her future in motion, whatever it holds.
Lord Hadrian Dankworth, the heir to the Duke of Rutherford, suffered two years of transportation for a crime he does not even know for sure he committed. But when the lady that was supposed to become his duchess shows up two oceans away from their country, she brings a glimpse of freedom and a chance to solve his case. As both disembark in London, they will have to find out the truth of his sentence. But more important still, they will have to find the truth of their feelings for each other.
