“I’ll Marry You, But I Won’t Obey You”—His Mail-Order Bride Changed the Duke Forever

She agreed to marry a powerful Duke—but she refused to surrender her freedom. When Verity Larkham meets Hugh Calderwick, the cold and guarded Duke of Aldercombe, she discovers a marriage contract that threatens her independence. Instead of silently accepting his terms, she crosses out the clause and declares that she will marry him—but never blindly obey him. Haunted by the loss of his brother, Hugh has spent years hiding behind duty and control. But when Verity sets out to restore a neglected village school, their marriage of convenience slowly becomes a love neither expected. Then a cruel accusation threatens everything Verity has worked to protect. Hugh makes the one mistake she cannot forgive: he asks her to remain silent. Now, to win her heart, the Duke must learn that true love means trusting her voice—not controlling it. ❤️ If you enjoy emotional Regency romance, marriage-of-convenience love stories, strong heroines, and cold Dukes who learn to love, subscribe to Dynasty Duke Stories for more unforgettable historical romances. #RegencyRomance #DukeRomance #MailOrderBride
