She Came to Marry the Duke’s Cousin—But the Duke Begged Her to Stay

Miss Harriet Bellwood arrives at Selwick Park with one simple purpose: to meet the Duke’s cousin and consider a respectable marriage. She expects a practical match—not an unexpected connection with the estate’s widowed master, Philip Warrender, Duke of Selwick. When his cousin is delayed, Harriet is left under the Duke’s roof. What begins as polite conversation slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. Her warmth, intelligence, and gentle spirit begin to bring life back into the Duke’s quiet household, awakening feelings he believed were buried with his past. But there is a problem. Harriet came to marry his cousin. And with each passing day, the Duke finds it harder to hide how deeply he wants her to stay. As the cousin’s arrival draws closer, Philip must choose between his honor and the woman who has unexpectedly captured his heart. Will he let Harriet leave—or risk everything for a second chance at love?
