In the glittering world of Regency England, the beautiful and accomplished Lady Aurelia Lymsey seems destined for a match as enviable as her status. Yet, a scandalous encounter shatters her prospects, compelling her into a hasty union with Rhys, the stoic Duke of Stowe. Bound by honour, yet strangers at heart, can their marriage of convenience blossom into true love?
Rhys, a former soldier turned reluctant duke, is captivated by Aurelia's grace, yet tormented by his own shadows. As he struggles to navigate his new role and the enigmatic heart of his bride, he finds his honour—and their future—threatened by a past rival. Aurelia's once-betrothed, fuelled by vengeance, is intent on undermining the fragile bond between the newlyweds.
In the midst of society's unrelenting gaze and an enemy's sinister schemes, Aurelia and Rhys must confront their own misconceptions about love, trust, and each other. With their happiness and their very lives in peril, will the Duke and Duchess of Stowe emerge unscathed and united in heart?
HIS DARLING DUCHESS is a closed-door romance with no explicit sex scenes.
