A Marriage of Convenience With the Scarred Duke: a Clean and Emotional Regency Romance of a Ruined Lady, a Reclusive Duke, and a Bargain That Turns Into Love

When a single careless evening at a masquerade strips Lady Amelia Lancaster of her reputation and her betrothed in one stroke, she is left with nothing but the desperate need to survive a London Season she can no longer navigate alone. The offer that arrives is as unlikely as it is unsettling: Frederick Harrington, the scarred and reclusive Duke of Ashbourne, requires a wife willing to endure rumour and rural seclusion in exchange for his protection and her family’s debts cleared. Neither expects the bargain to cost them anything beyond convenience — until the grey corridors of Ashbourne Hall begin to feel, against all reasonable expectation, like home.
