"Marry My Lovely Daughter," Her Father Begged the Duke — He Pointed at the Sister in the Corner

Her father begged the Duke of Coldbrook to marry his lovely younger daughter. Instead, the Duke pointed at the plain sister sewing in the corner. Emma Linfield never expected to be chosen by anyone, but Nathaniel Ward has a reason he cannot say out loud in a crowded parlour. His little son Toby has not spoken one word since his mother died on the great stairs of Coldbrook Castle. Emma agrees to marry him for the sake of a frightened boy who hides in cupboards. But the castle housekeeper, Mrs. Vera Croft, smiles too coldly, and Emma's jealous sister Blanche is writing her secret letters. When Toby finally whispers why he is so afraid, Emma learns that the truth about one terrible day could cost her the Duke, the boy and her good name, in front of the whole town. This is a full-length Regency romance narration of an unwanted sister, a silent child, a deadly secret, and a love that grew in a garden of sweet peas. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #PeriodDrama #VictorianRomance #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #LoveStory #RomanceAudiobook #RomanceNarration #UnwantedSister #WidowerDuke #MarriageOfConvenience #HappilyEverAfter #TheUnwantedDuchess regency romance, duke romance audiobook, widower duke romance, overlooked sister romance, marriage of convenience story, duke chooses the plain sister, Victorian romance narration, silent child romance story, Coldbrook Castle, Ludlow Shropshire romance, jealous sister betrayal story, evil housekeeper story, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, full length romance audiobook, stepmother for the duke's son, period drama story, historical romance narration, Emma and Nathaniel romance, the unwanted duchess
