He Slapped Her Before the Whole Party — Unaware Her Husband, the Duke, Was Standing in the Door

He Slapped Her Before the Whole Party — Unaware Her Husband, the Duke, Was Standing in the Door For a year, the Duke of Aldbury barely looked at the quiet wife he married for convenience — until he arrived, unannounced, at her uncle's house and watched the man who raised her strike her before thirty witnesses. What Charles Dacre does next, in a voice that never once rises, changes everything Berkshire believed about the cold, correct duke who was never at his duchess's side. The slap is only the beginning: behind it lie eighteen years Marianne never spoke of, a husband learning, at thirty-five, how to truly see the woman he married, and a reckoning that reaches every door of the family that broke her. This is a story about the difference between duty and devotion, and a duke who finally understands love is not something owed — it is something learned, and given. Will he become the husband she never dared hope for? #dukeromance #regencyromanceaudiobook #historicalromanceaudiobook #dukeandduchessromance #arrangedmarriageduke #marriageofconvenienceromance duke romance, regency romance audiobook, historical romance audiobook, duke and duchess romance, arranged marriage duke, marriage of convenience romance, slow burn romance audiobook, duke love story, regency love story, historical romance full story, romance audiobook for sleep, clean historical romance, sweet regency romance, cruel family romance, redemption romance duke, wallflower and the duke, duke protects heroine, family betrayal romance, love story audiobook, happily ever after romance
