It Had to Be a Duke: Before I Loved the Duke, I Loved the Man | Vivienne Lorret | Historical Romance

Verity Hartley never expected one harmless lie to change her life. To outshine a boastful neighbor, she claims she's engaged—to the Duke of Longhurst, her family's longtime enemy. After all, what are the chances he'll ever hear about it? Unfortunately, he does. Already struggling to save his estate, Magnus Warring is stunned to discover rumors of an engagement he never agreed to. Determined to protect his reputation, he confronts Verity—only to be persuaded into pretending to be her fiancé for one week. As their fake engagement brings them closer, old rivalries begin to fade, and pretending becomes far more dangerous than telling the truth. Can a week-long deception turn lifelong enemies into soulmates, or will the truth ruin everything before love has a chance? #historicalromance #romance #historical #enemiestolovers #historicalfiction #regency #audiobook #FakeDating #fiction #regencyromance
