Her Father Called Her the Ugliest Daughter in Kent — On Their Wedding Night, the Duke Saw the Truth

At a dinner party in Kent, Sir Walter Ashdown lifts his glass and calls his eldest daughter the ugliest girl in the county. Thirty guests laugh. Only one man does not: Edmund Hale, the scarred and silent Duke of Marrowby, who holds all of Sir Walter's debts. That night, the pretty sister refuses to marry a man with a broken face, and Margaret is pushed forward as "the leftover." The Duke looks at her for a long time and says, "I accept." On their wedding night, he tells her a truth no one has ever told her. But outside her door, a voice whispers that she will not last a month. Soon Margaret finds stolen rents, a forged love letter in her own hand, and a ruby necklace that falls from her bag in front of the whole county. Who wants her gone, and how far will they go? This is a full-length Regency romance narration of an unwanted bride, a wounded duke, and a love that sees past every lie. #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #PeriodDrama #CleanRomance #LoveStory #SlowBurnRomance #RomanceAudiobook #ArrangedMarriage #ScarredDuke #UglyDuckling #RomanceNarration #RegencyEra #HappilyEverAfter #TheUnwantedDuchess regency romance, duke romance audiobook, arranged marriage romance, scarred duke romance, plain heroine romance, ugliest daughter story, Margaret Ashdown, Duke of Marrowby, Kent Regency romance, forged letter romance, stolen jewels scandal, wedding night romance story, clean historical romance, slow burn duke romance, ballroom scandal story, cruel father romance, jealous sister story, full length romance narration, period drama story, the unwanted duchess
