"I'll Wed the Next Man Through That Door," She Laughed — The Duke of Elsmere Walked In

At a crowded supper table in Bath, Beatrice Fairfax makes one reckless joke to silence her nagging aunt: she will marry the very next man who walks through that door. The door opens on Maximilian Rourke, Duke of Elsmere, soaked from the rain and in no mood to be laughed at, and instead of dismissing her words he accepts them on the spot. Within a day the whole of Bath is wagering on whether Beatrice will become a duchess or a disgrace, and Beatrice is certain the Duke means only to punish her for her wit. But Maximilian is bound by his father's will to marry before Lady Day or lose everything to a scheming aunt with her own candidate already chosen, and as stolen letters, public humiliation, and a desperate cousin's debts threaten to destroy Beatrice's name before the wedding can even happen, the Duke must decide how far he will go to prove that this marriage was never a punishment at all. Settle in for a full-length Regency romance of wit, ruin, and a love neither of them saw coming through that door. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #VictorianRomance #HistoricalRomanceAudiobook #DukeRomanceStory #FullRomanceAudiobook #LoveStoryNarration #DukeAndHeroine #RegencyDrama #RomanceAudioStory #ClosedDoorRomance #SlowBurnRomance #ArrangedMarriageRomance #DukeOfElsmere #BathRegencyRomance #ScandalousProposal #WillAndInheritance #StolenLettersScandal #CruelAuntTrope #PublicHumiliationRomance #GamblingDebtStory #RegencyBallroom #DukeSavesTheHeroine #RomanceFullMovie #BedtimeRomanceStory #RelaxingLoveStory #HistoricalFictionAudiobook #DukesAndLadies #ForbiddenLoveStory #WittyHeroineRomance #TrustAndBetrayal #HappilyEverAfterRomance #AudiobookRomance duke romance audiobook, regency romance full story, victorian romance story, marry the next man through the door, duke bound by his father's will, forced engagement romance story, stolen letters scandal romance, cruel aunt ruins reputation, duke saves the heroine, full length regency love story, historical romance audiobook free, romance story to fall asleep to, arranged marriage duke romance, witty heroine duke romance, bath regency scandal story, duke and commoner love story, gambling cousin ruins family, regency wedding romance story, slow burn duke romance audiobook
