The Duchess He Never Expected: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Era of Scandals Book 1)
on Amazon
“One hidden will, one dangerous secret, and one marriage neither expected.”
Violet Whitford never imagined her quiet life would end in scandal, let alone with a duke as her husband. When an afternoon at Willethorn House leaves her reputation in jeopardy, she suddenly finds herself walking down the aisle with the most eligible man in the county.
But Dominic, Duke of Willethorn, carries secrets of his own. His father’s will has forced his hand into marriage, and though he offers Violet respect and protection, his guarded heart remains out of reach.
What begins as a union of necessity soon grows into something deeper… and far more fragile. With gossip spreading, rivals scheming, and old heartbreaks resurfacing, Violet and Dominic must decide whether they will cling to pride, or risk everything for love.
A clean Regency romance full of scandal and the kind of love that takes you by surprise. This is a story full of passion, heart, and redemption, with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you smiling long after the final page.
It’s the kind of romance that steals your breath and stays with you.
