Left by Her Fiancé, She Married the Duke Everyone Feared — Then She Learned Why He Had Chosen Her

On her wedding morning in a Lancashire mill town, Marianne Lowe stands alone at the altar while a barefoot boy carries a note up the aisle: her fiancé has run off to marry a banker's daughter. The church laughs, and her stepmother swears she will sleep in the street tonight. Then the most feared man in the county rises from the back pew. Fabian, the scarred Duke of Thistlewood, whose first bride was found drowned in his black lake, walks up the aisle and asks her to marry him. She says yes, but nothing in his dark house on the moor is what it seems. A stone falls from the tower. A cruel will is left on her pillow. A glass of wine sends the Duke to the floor, and every finger points at the doctor's daughter. And behind it all, a charming cousin smiles. Why did the feared Duke really choose her, and what secret from a dark fever room five years ago could save them both? #DukeRomance #VictorianRomance #HistoricalRomanceAudiobook #JiltedBride #FearedDuke #MarriageOfConvenience #FullRomanceAudiobook #LoveStoryNarration #RomanceAudioStory #CleanRomance #ScarredDuke duke romance audiobook, victorian romance full story, jilted bride marries duke, feared duke romance, scarred duke love story, marriage of convenience romance, left at the altar romance, doctor's daughter and the duke, historical romance for sleep, clean victorian love story, lancashire mill romance, poison plot romance story, villain cousin heir story, duke protects his wife, secret reason he chose her, 1840 romance story, full length romance audiobook, long romance story narration, sweet historical romance, happy ending romance audiobook, duke's choice romance, wedding day betrayal story
