Her Stepmother Kept Her in the Attic as a Maid — Until the Season's Most Hunted Duke Came to Dine

For six years, Verity Ashdown has scrubbed grates and climbed to a cold attic room in the very house that should be hers, while her stepmother Mrs. Cordelia Ashdown tells callers the "delicate" elder Miss Ashdown is wintering abroad. When Alexander Kerr, Duke of Glenmorrow, is lured to dine at Ashdown Court, he notices a servant girl with burned hands who corrects the wine before anyone asks her to, and something in him refuses to look away. What begins as idle curiosity becomes a quiet, dangerous investigation into a forged will, a stolen inheritance, and a stepmother willing to have a sane young woman certified mad to keep it all. As physicians, solicitors, and a county's worth of watching eyes close in, the Duke must decide how far he will go to give a forgotten heiress back her name — and her freedom. Settle in for a full-length Regency romance of cruelty exposed, justice hard-won, and a love that finally asks the right question. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #VictorianRomance #HistoricalRomanceAudiobook #DukeRomanceStory #FullRomanceAudiobook #LoveStoryNarration #DukeAndHeroine #RegencyDrama #RomanceAudioStory #CinderellaRomance #WickedStepmother #HiddenHeiress #AtticToAristocrat #ForgedWill #DukeSavesTheDay #RegencyJustice #HistoricalFiction #CleanRomance #SweetRomanceStory #AudiobookRomance #PeriodDrama #SecretHeiress #SecondChanceLove #NobleHeart #RomanceStorytime #FullMovieRomance #DukeOfGlenmorrow #StepmotherCruelty #RegencyBallroom #TrueLoveWins #LongRomanceStory #BedtimeRomanceStory duke romance audiobook, regency romance full story, victorian romance story, wicked stepmother story, hidden heiress romance, duke saves the heroine, forbidden regency love story, cinderella duke romance, servant girl secret heiress, forged will inheritance story, regency romance drama, full length romance audiobook, sweet clean romance story, historical romance narration, duke and maid romance, regency ball confrontation story, romance story to fall asleep to, period drama love story, attic to duchess story, justice and romance historical fiction
