The Duke of Denholm Hid His Name and Watched Her Meet His Deaf Sister — Unaware She Signed Hello

Seven women have come to a great house to be interviewed, and not one of them has said good morning to the young lady they were hired to keep company — they speak over her head to her brother instead. So he puts on a plain brown coat, calls himself the steward, and waits to see how the eighth applicant behaves when she believes no one important is watching. What a penniless schoolmaster's daughter does in the first ten seconds changes three lives, and the truth he has been hiding nearly costs him everything. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #dukeromance #audiostory #romancestories #storytime #bedtimestory #hiddenidentity #dukeindisguise #deafcharacter #signlanguage #kindnesswins #governessromance #companion #schoolmastersdaughter #overlookedheroine #chosenbytheduke #thereveal #dignity #foundfamily #englishcountryhouse #wiltshire #proposal #happyending #storiesforwomen #warmhearted #feareddukeslovestory period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, wholesome romance, love story, romance audiobook, narrated romance story, duke hides his title, duke in disguise, hidden identity romance, the reveal, deaf sister, sign language, signed good morning, kindness rewarded, schoolmaster's daughter, companion position, drawing mistress, poor heroine, great house, wiltshire estate, dignified portrayal, capable heroine, brooding duke, duke falls in love, protective brother, county assembly, pitying neighbours put in their place, school for the deaf, marriage proposal, warm ending, happy ever after, stories for older women, long romance story, bedtime romance story, 19th century england, period drama story
