The Duke Was Told His Bride Was Homely — When the Veil Came Up, His Whole World Tilted

The Duke Was Told His Bride Was Homely — When the Veil Came Up, His Whole World Tilted He braced himself for a plain, dutiful wife he could endure without ever risking his heart again. Bound since childhood by his late father's debt of honor, Sebastian Hawthorne, Duke of Wrentham, prepares to marry a woman he has not seen in fifteen years — and his own scheming aunt makes certain he expects the very worst. Warned again and again that his intended bride has grown into a plain, awkward, unremarkable creature, Sebastian steels himself for a marriage of cold duty rather than any genuine warmth. But when the wedding veil finally lifts before the assembled congregation, he discovers a woman of striking beauty, quiet courage, and a wit sharp enough to unravel every careful expectation his aunt spent months constructing — and a lie deliberate enough to have very nearly cost them both everything. A Regency romance audiobook about a duke's arranged marriage, a jealous aunt's cruel deception, and the wife he never let himself hope for. What happens when the truth a family tried to bury proves stronger than the rumor built to hide it? #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #RomanceAudiobook #DukeAndDuchess #ArrangedMarriage #ForcedMarriageRomance duke romance, regency romance, historical romance audiobook, romance audiobook, historical love story, arranged marriage romance, duke and duchess, wedding veil romance, secret deception romance, slow burn regency romance, enemies to family romance, marriage of convenience audiobook
