To Love a Beastly Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (The Midnight Rose Dukes Book 1)
on Amazon
“Look elsewhere, Miss Ailsworth. Beauty does not belong beside me.”
“And yet your soul is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”
Miss Cordelia Ailsworth has spent years hiding her brilliant mind behind polite smiles and meaningless conversation. In secret, she publishes groundbreaking botanical research, never guessing her anonymous work has captured the admiration of England’s most feared duke.
Sebastian Trollope was once a celebrated scholar… until war left him scarred and withdrawn from society. Now known as the Beastly Duke, he lives in isolation, until he meets a young woman whose gentle courage sees past every wound he has tried to hide.
But Cordelia’s secret life is more dangerous than she realizes. And when her identity threatens to come to light, she must decide whether to protect her reputation… or trust the only man who has ever understood her heart.
A tender, clean Beauty-and-the-Beast Regency romance about healing, hidden brilliance, and love that learns to see with the heart, not the eyes.
Craving compelling characters and a story full of twists?
This historical romance is a must-have for your library. Brimming with passion, surprises, and emotional depth, plus no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a truly swoon-worthy happily ever after.
Also free to read with Kindle Unlimited!
