She Came to Marry the Duke, But He Was Away — His Children Met Her First, and Everything Changed

She Came to Marry the Duke, But He Was Away — His Children Met Her First, and Everything Changed Anne Fairley traveled to Roxby Hall to marry a duke she had never laid eyes on, only to be told on the front steps that His Grace was a month away in Vienna. Left alone with three grieving, wild, thoroughly unimpressed children, she does what no one arranged for her to do: she stays, she earns them, and she becomes the mother the house has been missing. By the time the Duke of Roxby finally comes home, his children have already decided who belongs in their nursery — and in his heart. He, however, has decided nothing at all. Watch a marriage of convenience turn into a slow-burn Regency romance where a wary widowed duke must fall for the very woman his children chose for him first. Sweet, clean, deeply emotional, with a devotion that grows quietly until it cannot be denied. Will he be brave enough to claim what his children already knew was his? duke romance, regency romance, historical romance audiobook, marriage of convenience, contracted bride romance, widowed duke romance, slow burn romance, clean historical romance, regency England romance, duke and governess trope, second chance at love, Northumberland estate romance, grieving children romance, arranged marriage romance, sweet romance audiobook, period drama romance, duke falls in love, forced proximity romanc
