To Wed a Beastly Duke: A Historical Romance Novel (Affairs of Honor Book 2)

You can learn to live with loneliness. Until someone shows you what it feels like to be seen.

They call him “The Beast of Thornedale”, scarred, silent, unreachable. Haunted by the loss of his sister and burdened by a family curse, Julian Thorne has built walls no one dares breach. A marriage of convenience is simply another duty: take a bride, secure the line, feel nothing.

Lady Martha Fairchild never imagined her life would end in a cold chapel, traded like a debt to a man she’s never met. But for her family’s survival, she agrees to the match, expecting nothing but isolation in a crumbling, windswept castle.

What she doesn’t expect is the man beneath the silence. A duke who plays music when no one listens. A protector who hides his tenderness like a wound. A broken soul who looks at her as though he can’t believe she’s real.

In a house full of secrets and shadows, can two wounded hearts find warmth in the very place they feared would destroy them?

To Wed a Beastly Duke is a historical romance with a slow-burn love story, emotional healing, and absolutely no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

It’s a tender, character-driven Regency/Victorian tale about courage, patience, and the woman brave enough to wait for the thaw.

Perfect for readers who love brooding dukes, quiet strength, and deeply emotional historical romance.
