'I Need a Wife by Tomorrow,' Duke of Quornby Said — 'Then You Must Promise Me One Thing,' She Said
A binding will gives a feared Duke a single day to find a wife or lose everything, so he offers a hasty bargain to a clever, overlooked woman who has watched every door close on her. She agrees on one tender condition — that he never pretend a feeling he does not have — and the cold contract slowly becomes the truest love either has known. A warm, clean period romance about honesty, devotion, and a marriage that begins as rescue and ends as home. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #marriageofconvenience #arrangedmarriage #hastymarriage #forcedmarriage #dukeromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #enemiestolovers #slowburn #cleanhistoricalromance #brooding #overlookedheroine #truelove #inheritance #willcondition #wholesomeromance #romancestory #storytime #lovestories #dukesbride #duchess #devotion #secondchance #tenderromance #romanticstory #happyending #bargainmarriage period romance, historical romance, duke, regency romance, victorian romance, marriage of convenience, arranged marriage, hasty marriage, forced marriage, bargain marriage, clean romance, clean historical romance, duke romance, love story, overlooked heroine, brooding duke, slow burn romance, enemies to lovers, inheritance plot, will condition, honesty in marriage, true love, devotion, wholesome romance, romantic story, period drama, regency england, duchess, second chance love, tender romance, love against the odds, happy ending, storytime romance, audiobook romance, romance for women, feared duke, plain heroine, contract marriage, love stories for women
