The Brooding Duke
(2023)(The third book in the Regency Expedient Marriages series)
A novel by Dorothy Sheldon
"Scarred, monstrous, reluctant, brooding" is what society calls him, but he's just a kind-hearted Duke who avoids messing with the ton because of the harsh judgment of his scars. No one gave him a chance to prove who he really was... except her, his convenient bride, the first one not to run from his scarred face.
The battle-scarred face of Russell Johns, Duke of Amesbury, sends ladies running. Resigned to a lonely bachelorhood in his decrepit castle, hes pessimistic about an arranged marriage with the daughter of a marquess. Theyre strangers, and hes sure his disfigurement will repulse her when they finally meet. She rejects him, yet claims its not for his scars, but because she wishes to marry for love. Russell has one month before the wedding to change her mind and win her heart.
Lady Caroline Richardson was the indulged daughter of a marquess, until her twin brother, the heir, was killed. Then, she became her fathers pawn in an arranged marriage to a Duke shes never met. True, the Duke isnt the dour monster she expected but powerfully attractive, his scars a badge of valour. How to convince him theyre not the reason for her rejection, that shes simply holding out against a loveless marriage?
With one month until the wedding, she must fight against her own resolve not to fall for him. But will she succeed?
*Read a romantic book that mixes Regency-era love, mystery, and strong emotions. "The Brooding Duke" is the perfect novel for people who like passionate stories set in the past.
No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after full of romance.
