Forced to Wed the Lonely Widowed Duke, Who Could Not Walk — She Never Imagined She Would Find Love

When her father's debts left her with nothing, a ruined gentleman's daughter was handed over in a marriage settlement to the widowed Duke of Vellacourt — a man the county whispered about, a man who had not walked in five years, and a man who expected nothing from her but silence. She arrived at his great house expecting a cold half-life. What she found was a proud, brilliant, formidable man who ruled his own kingdom, and a love that all of society said could not possibly be real. A feared Duke, a bought bride, and a night of storm and flood that finally forced them both to say the truth out loud. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #victorianromance #arrangedmarriage #forcedmarriage #marriageofconvenience #widowedduke #woundedhero #dukeromance #regencyromance #historicalfiction #romancestories #audiostory #storytime #loveagainsttheodds #secondchanceatlove #brokenduke #wheelchairhero #truelove #bridewithnodowry #debtsofherfather #greatestate #englishcountryside #slowburnromance #tenderromance #devotion #hisduchess #thedukeschoice #nobility #hearthside period romance, historical romance, regency romance, victorian romance, duke romance, arranged marriage romance, marriage of convenience, forced marriage story, widowed duke, wounded duke, disabled hero romance, duke who could not walk, bought bride, fathers debts, debt marriage, clean romance, wholesome romance, romance audiobook, romance story narrated, love story, historical love story, slow burn romance, tender love story, against society romance, poor girl rich duke, humble heroine, feared duke, brooding duke, proud duke, estate ledgers heroine, flood rescue story, storm rescue, second love after grief, grieving widower romance, romance for women, bedtime love story, long romance story, devotion romance, happily ever after, english country estate
