A Governess for the Damaged Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Serenades of Love Book 2)

Scars run deeper than skin, but some secrets leave wounds that refuse to heal…

Miss Liliana Wakefield rides into storm?lashed Thornvale Abbey armed with wit, steel independence, and a vow never to bow to the aristocracy that ruined her family. Her mission is singular: reach the Duke’s silent, shattered niece.

She expects a cruel, distant guardian. Instead she finds him, Thaddeus Stanhope: the “Beast of Thornvale,” a man walled behind fire?ravaged scars and a grief that’s eating him alive. He believes he deserves emptiness; she looks straight at him and doesn’t flinch. A spark. A threat. A promise.

As Liliana coaxes fragile words from the child, the Abbey itself seems to tighten, a house of locked rooms, stifled memories, and footsteps that don’t belong. The girl’s splintered recollections point not to ghosts… but to someone still here.

To save the child, and themselves, Liliana must risk the vulnerability she swore off, and Thaddeus must decide he is more than the monster he fears. Love might heal them… or the truth may tear Thornvale apart.
