The Duke Wed the Daughter London Called 'Ugly' — On Their Wedding Night, He Could Not Breathe

All of London calls Lady Harriet Collier "the Collier fright." For six years she has hidden under a thick gray wig, heavy powder, painted spots and dark spectacles, and ladies laugh behind their fans as she walks down the aisle to marry the stern Duke of Blackmere. Lucian Thorne only takes her to keep a promise to his dying father. But that night, at an inn on the road north, Harriet washes her face, lets down her red hair and begins to sing, and the Duke cannot breathe. She is the masked singer who saved his life in a soldiers' hospital after Waterloo. Now her cruel stepmother wants her father's fortune, and a forged contract says Harriet was promised to another man. A gambling captain demands his bride at the castle gates. Her tea tastes bitter. And a court is ready to tear the marriage apart. This is a full-length Regency romance narration of a hidden beauty, a duke who keeps his word, and a song that will not be silenced. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #PeriodDrama #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #LoveStory #RomanceAudiobook #RomanceNarration #HiddenBeauty #UglyDuckling #EvilStepmother #HappilyEverAfter #RegencyEra #TheDukesChosenBride regency romance, duke romance audiobook, ugly bride romance, hidden beauty romance, Lucian Thorne, Harriet Collier, Duke of Blackmere, Northumberland castle romance, evil stepmother story, forged marriage contract, Waterloo soldier romance, masked singer romance, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, full length romance narration, wedding night reveal, period drama story, courtroom romance drama, happily ever after romance, the duke's chosen bride
