"Still No Husband?" Her Ex-Fiancé Sneered — He Didn't Know She Was Now the Duchess of Ashbury

"Still no husband, Isobel?" Three years after Vincent Carlisle jilted her for an heiress's money, he finds Isobel Grant standing alone at the Leicester Hunt Ball in a plain gray gown. He sneers that he did her a kindness by leaving. His friends roar with laughter. Isobel only smiles. Then the doors open, the whole room bows, and Philip Ashe, the shy and private Duke of Ashbury, walks straight past every lord in Leicestershire, kisses her hand and calls her "my duchess." They married quietly in Paris, and nobody in England knew. But the duke's proud cousin Lady Juno has ruled Ashbury Castle for nine years, and she will not give it up to a paid companion. Now Juno and the bitter ex-fiancé share one goal. The marriage papers vanish from a locked drawer. A forged contract appears. And at the great Boxing Day hunt, the famous Ashbury emerald is about to be found in the wrong place. This is a full-length Regency romance narration of a secret marriage, a cruel ex-fiancé, a jealous cousin and a duke who will cross a stormy sea for his wife. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #SecretMarriage #JiltedHeroine #ExFiance #ShyDuke #CleanRomance #SlowBurnRomance #RomanceAudiobook #RomanceNarration #PeriodDrama #RegencyEra #HappilyEverAfter #TheUnwantedDuchess regency romance, duke romance audiobook, secret marriage romance, ex fiance revenge story, jilted woman becomes duchess, still no husband story, Philip Ashe Duke of Ashbury, Isobel Grant, Leicestershire hunt ball romance, Paris embassy wedding, forged marriage contract, stolen emerald scandal, jealous cousin villain, Boxing Day hunt story, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, full length romance audiobook, falsely accused duchess, period drama narration, the unwanted duchess
