#RegencyRomance #DukeRomance #HistoricalRomance #RomanceStory #LoveStory Her beautiful sister caused the scandal. Verity was sent to apologise for it. But when she refused to repeat the family’s lie, the Duke began looking at the sister everyone else had ignored. Verity Marchbank has spent her entire life cleaning up the mistakes of her beautiful younger sister. But when Seraphina abandons her engagement to the powerful Duke of Wexbury and allows an innocent young man to carry the blame, Verity is sent to Greyshott Park with one simple instruction: apologise, return the ring, and say exactly what the family has prepared. Instead, Verity tells the Duke the truth. What begins as one act of costly honesty draws the attention of a man who had barely noticed her before. Soon the overlooked “plain sister” becomes the woman the Duke chooses to marry—but becoming Duchess only awakens a deeper fear. Was Verity truly chosen? Or was she simply the most convenient replacement after her beautiful sister disappeared? When Seraphina returns and society begins calling Verity “The Substitute Duchess,” one hidden document threatens everything Verity has finally allowed herself to believe about love, marriage, and being truly seen. A slow-burn Regency romance about dignity, sister rivalry, scandal, emotional wounds, second choices, and a Duke who must finally say aloud what his actions have failed to prove.
