The Duke's First Wife Drowned Four Years Ago. Then She Walked Into the Hall.

Nora married a widowed duke and had fourteen happy months before the Duchess of Avermere was announced in her own hall — a woman who drowned four years ago, holding the hand of a boy with her husband's eyes. Nora is four months with child. The law says a second marriage made while the first still stands is void. And in the gun room one afternoon in May, she overhears her husband's family working out what happens to her if the baby is a girl. A full-length regency romance — a dead wife returned, a marriage that never legally existed, a secret in a ship's manifest, and a heroine who finds the truth herself. Narrated start to finish, perfect for sleep, background listening, or unwinding. 🎧 Subscribe for more Gilded Hearts stories, leave a like, and turn on the bell so you never miss the next one. #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomance #RomanceAudiobook #SecondChanceRomance #MarriageOfConvenience #DukeRomance #CleanRomance #BridgertonStyle #RomanceStory #SleepStory #AudioRomance #ForbiddenLove #LoveStory #PeriodDrama #romancenovel
