THE DUKE SAID HE WOULD NEVER LOVE HER ,BUT HIS CHILDREN LEFT A LETTER ON HER BED “WE CHOOSE YOU”

1847, England. Eleanor just buried her husband, and now she's being sent off to marry a duke she's never met a marriage of convenience arranged purely out of necessity, not love. He tells her straight to her face that his heart died with his first wife and it's never coming back. She doesn't ask for love. She just needs a home, and his two kids need a mother. That's the deal they strike, cold and practical, like any arranged marriage in this kind of regency romance. But somewhere between bedtime stories, a snowstorm, and a little girl who won't stop talking about mermaids, something in this house starts to thaw. This slow burn romance takes its time, the way the best historical romance stories do, and even the duke himself doesn't see it coming. This is a full audiobook, so settle in — it runs long, but if you're into duke and duchess love stories, second chance romance, or anything that reminds you of Bridgerton, you'll want to hear this one all the way through. The kind of emotional story that sneaks up on you and hits harder than you expect by the end. Let me know in the comments where you're listening from and which part got to you the most. If you enjoyed this one, subscribing genuinely helps — I put out full romance audiobooks like this regularly and would love to have you around for the next story.
