The Cruel Duke Hid His Plain Eldest Daughter — Then the Richest Lord in London Chose Only Her

On the night of the grand Wexley ball, Lady Maud Wexley is locked in the attic so that nobody will see her. Her cruel father says she is too plain, too plump and too old to stand beside her pretty half-sister. But Maud slips down the back stairs for a book and walks straight into Tristan Hale, the Duke of Ashcombe, the richest lord in London. In one hour in a dark library, she makes the bored Duke laugh for the first time all Season. Then her father calls her a maid and sends her away. Now the Duke wants to know who she is, and her family swears she does not exist. Why does her father say Maud must never marry? What money is he hiding? And how far will he go when a burned will, forged letters and a public scandal stand between Maud and the truth? This is a full-length Regency romance narration of a hidden daughter, a stolen fortune, and a duke who chose only her. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HiddenDaughter #HistoricalRomance #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #RomanceAudiobook #CruelFather #RichestDuke #PeriodDrama #LoveStory #RomanceNarration #RegencyEra #HappilyEverAfter #TheColdDukesHeart regency romance, duke romance audiobook, hidden daughter romance, plain heroine romance, Duke of Ashcombe, Lady Maud Wexley, Tristan Hale, cruel father duke story, wicked stepmother romance, stolen inheritance romance, forged letters scandal, Almack's scandal story, London Season romance, Mayfair romance story, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, full length romance narration, richest duke falls in love, period drama audiobook, the cold duke's heart
