Betrothed to the Scarred Duke
(2024)(A book in the Lustful Lords and Ladies series)
A novel by Abigail Agar
In an era where duty often trumps desire, Lady Cordelia Harrington's noble family is on the brink of financial ruin. Her younger sister, Felicity, dreams of marrying for love but cannot wed until Cordelia is betrothed. Driven by a sense of responsibility and a heart full of kindness, Cordelia agrees to marry the reclusive Duke of Whitestone, Julian Simon, despite their only meeting being at a masked ball where he was inexplicably rude.
However, beneath the Duke's harsh exterior lies a secret that could change everything…
Julian Simon, a man of imposing stature and hidden scars, shrouds himself in mystery and shadows. He barely acknowledges Cordelia as they begin their life together, leaving her to wonder why he chose her. However, underneath his coldness lies a soul tormented by a past tragedy — a fire that left him scarred and isolated. His hauntingly beautiful music becomes the bridge between them though, sparking a connection that gradually melts Julian's defenses.
Could these melodies echo both heartache and hope for the most special love of his life?
As their hearts begin to entwine, outside forces threaten their fragile bond. Julian’s friend, captivated by Cordelia, vies for her affection, while his former fiancée reappears, determined to reclaim him. Amidst these trials, Julian must decide if he’s brave enough to embrace a future with Cordelia. Will their love conquer the shadows of the past, or will they be condemned to eternal misery?
