She Stood Up for an Old Lady the Guests Were Mocking — Never Knowing She Was the Duke's Mother

She Stood Up for an Old Lady the Guests Were Mocking — Never Knowing She Was the Duke's Mother At a grand Kent garden party, a proud young lady tips her lemonade into the lap of a plain old woman on a bench, and all her fine friends laugh. Only Fanny Jarvis, a poor curate's daughter who teaches music to rich girls, runs to help. She gives the old lady her own shawl, tells the guests they should be ashamed, and loses her place for it. What Fanny does not know is that the Duke of Redham saw every moment from the garden gate, and that the old woman she called "Mrs. Wren" is his own mother. Ivo is proud and guarded, and he stopped believing in kindness long ago. But as summer goes on, he cannot stay away from the girl at his mother's piano. And someone in Kent has a cruel plan for the old lady. When the truth comes out, will Ivo trust the girl who was kind for nothing? duke romance, regency romance, historical romance audiobook, clean historical romance, regency England romance, historical romance for women, romantic audio drama, slow burn regency romance, kind heroine romance, duke's mother in disguise, curate's daughter romance, Kent garden party romance, music teacher love story, mocked old lady story, sacred romance saga, duke romance story 1824
