Duke & Duchess: When it Comes to You III by Ciara Nashae
What happens when the love isn’t enough?
Duke and Duchess didn’t fall in love slowly. They built something fierce and unshakable in the middle of chaos. They married fast. Started a family fast. And for a while, their love felt untouchable.
But love built quickly must survive consequence.
The truth about Sani being Duke’s brother doesn’t soften him, it hardens him. Too much bad blood and loss between the two to mend. The history tied to his father and Sector II forces Duke to confront a legacy he never asked for. And the betrayal he feels toward his mother for wanting reconciliation cuts deeper than he expected.
Instead of healing, Duke retreats.
The grief of losing his best friend still lingers. Sleep doesn’t come easy. The anger doesn’t leave. He buries himself in work. He drowns his silence in alcohol. And the man who once stood firm as head of his family begins to withdraw from the very people who need him most.
His demons pour onto Duchess and his children, making it hard for him to see the love standing right in front of him.
Now Duke and Duchess are living in separate houses, their marriage hanging by a thread. The passion that once defined them is no longer enough. Because this isn’t passion.
This is soul recognition. And soul recognition demands growth.
Duchess refuses to shrink. She refuses to carry a marriage alone. She knows her place is the heart of her family, but even a heart can only beat so long without protection.
As bloodlines resurface and legacy demands accountability, Duke must decide whether he will allow grief to swallow him whole.
This is not a story about falling in love. This is a story about consequence. About healing what you rushed past.
About legacy love that stands the test of time. Not because it was easy, but because it was fought for.
In this powerful and emotional finale, Duke and Duchess will learn that neither can be everything. But together… They can be whole.

She hasn’t seen him since college.
She hasn’t said his name in years.
Now he’s back.
Sarai Mitchell has built a life rooted in purpose and steadiness. As a professor at Magnolia State University, she is respected, composed, and quietly fulfilled. She knows who she is now—and she’s learned not to look back at what once broke her.
Then Homecoming brings Nolan Chase back into her orbit.
In college, Nolan was the one place Sarai felt unguarded. Their connection was private, intense, and deeply real—until it wasn’t. Whatever happened between them ended without closure, leaving Sarai to move forward alone and Nolan to disappear entirely.
Now, years later, they’re forced into the same space again when a destination wedding pulls them into close proximity—shared events, shared friends, and too many moments that echo with unfinished history. Nolan has built a successful, enviable life of his own, but the man Sarai encounters is still the one who never fully explained why he left.
As old feelings resurface and long-held truths strain to be spoken, Sarai must decide whether reopening the past is worth the risk of being hurt again. And Nolan must confront the cost of choosing distance when love required presence.
Because some connections don’t fade with time.
They wait.
