The Duke Invited the Maid to His Birthday Dinner as a Joke — She Came in a Gown the Queen Once Wore

On his thirty-seventh birthday, the cold Duke of Fallowmere signs a joke invitation for his own maid. His cruel fiancée, Lady Rosalind Crewe, wants to watch Winifred Lark walk into the great hall in rags so the whole county can laugh her out of the room. But when the doors open, Winnie walks in wearing a shining silver gown sewn with real pearls, and an old lord whispers that the Queen once wore it. The gown was made by Winnie's grandmother, a dressmaker to Queen Adelaide. Now Duke Percival cannot stop thinking about the maid he tried to shame. But Rosalind and her scheming mother want that royal gown for themselves. A forged royal letter, a midnight theft, an old woman thrown into a cell, and a charity ball where Winnie is laughed at and dragged out by the guards. Her only hope is a secret hidden in the silk itself. This is a full-length Regency romance narration of a cruel joke, a royal gown, a stolen name, and a proud duke who must learn to look twice. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #MaidAndDuke #PeriodDrama #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #RomanceAudiobook #LoveStory #RoyalGown #CinderellaStory #RomanceNarration #VictorianRomance #HappilyEverAfter #TheMaidAndTheDuke duke romance, regency romance audiobook, maid and duke romance, Duke of Fallowmere, Winifred Lark, royal gown story, Queen Adelaide gown, joke invitation romance, cruel fiancée story, historical romance narration, Salisbury romance story, Wiltshire period drama, cinderella duke romance, clean historical romance, forged letter romance, charity ball scandal, slow burn duke romance, full length romance audiobook, victorian maid romance, the maid and the duke
