Two Hundred Guests Snickered When the Duke Bowed to the Stepdaughter Serving the Punch

Two hundred guests waited for the Duke of Ravensholt to bow to the prettiest girl at the Thornleigh midsummer ball. Instead, Laurence Drake walked past every lady in Devon and bowed low to the stepdaughter serving the punch. The room filled with laughter, until he spoke. Ten years ago, Philippa Thornleigh pulled a drowning young sailor out of the sea at Torquay, and he has been looking for her ever since. Now she scrubs floors in her own late father's house, while her stepmother wears diamonds bought with money that should have been hers. When the duke asks to marry her, a forged will, a stolen silver tray and a false workhouse record are turned against her. Can a servant girl prove the truth before her stepmother and a smooth-talking lawyer ruin her in front of all of Devon? This is a full-length Regency romance narration of a naval hero, a brave stepdaughter, a wicked stepmother and a love that began in a stormy sea. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #PeriodDrama #CinderellaStory #WickedStepmother #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #LoveStory #RomanceAudiobook #RomanceNarration #NavalHero #RagsToRiches #HappilyEverAfter #TheUnwantedDuchess regency romance, duke romance audiobook, stepdaughter romance story, wicked stepmother story, Cinderella regency romance, duke bows to servant girl, naval hero duke romance, forged will story, Devon regency romance, Ravensholt Castle, Philippa and Laurence romance, rescued from the sea romance, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, full length romance audiobook, period drama story, historical romance narration, rags to riches romance, ballroom humiliation story, the unwanted duchess
