At 18 She Married the Unwanted Duke—On Their Wedding Night He Revealed Why He Chose Her

At just eighteen she was sold by her ambitious father to the quiet, limping Duke the whole county called unwanted, and she came to his great house braced to endure a monster. But on their wedding night he drew a chair to the fire and gently told her the true reason he had paid any price to marry her, a reason that reached back six years to a crowded ballroom and a single act of kindness. A tender, wholesome period romance about a frightened bride and the gentle Duke who had never forgotten her. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #cleanromancestories #arrangedmarriage #dukeromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #forcedmarriage #truelove #devotion #romancestory #historicalfiction #perioddrama #weddingnight #marriageofconvenience #gentleduke #wholesomeromance #nobility #tenderness #againsttheodds #humbleheroine #hesawher #storiesforwomen #audiostory #warmromance #dukesbride #cherished #kindness #unwantedduke period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, arranged marriage, the dukes choice, forced marriage, marriage of convenience, chosen by the duke, unwanted duke, wedding night, why he chose her, frightened bride, forbidden love, true love story, against the odds romance, wholesome love story, romance for older women, romance audiobook, historical fiction, period drama, nobility romance, gentle duke, act of kindness, tender romance, warm ending, devotion, love story for women, lame duke, cherished, married to a duke, duke of hetherby, sold by her father, second chance, ballroom, first meeting, patient love
