About The Author
Kate Ziedman has always loved telling stories, especially ones that
keep readers on edge. Originally from snowy Wisconsin, she now
lives in sunny Florida with her husband, three kids, four playful
dogs, and two curious cats.
Her passion for writing started early, with a love for eerie and
mysterious tales. But as life unfolded, raising her children took
priority. Now that they’re older, she’s finally making time for what
she loves most—writing.
Currently, she’s working on the second book in her series, eager to
captivate readers with more thrilling stories.
Duchess is a gripping, dark romantic suspense novel about survival, vengeance, and rediscovery of strength. Davianna Barclay is hiding from a brutal past in a sleepy town-until she's violently abducted and dragged back into a world she tried to escape. Trapped in a nightmarish underworld, she must rely on her cunning and grit to survive.
Enter Diesel-a cold, relentless fixer with a dark past and a deeper conscience than he lets on. When he's called in to rescue Davianna, he never expects to find a woman who challenges everything he thought he knew about strength and vulnerability. What starts as a mission of redemption turns into a high-stakes fight for justice-and maybe something more.
