A Contract Forced the Rebellious Miss Onto the Strict Duke of Asterleigh — Neither Expected to Fall

A binding family contract, signed in wax before either of them was grown, forces a spirited young woman the whole county calls "too rebellious to marry" onto a cold, strict Duke who prizes order above all else. They expect to hate each other thoroughly. But behind his careful walls she finds a loneliness no one ever stayed long enough to thaw — and the marriage neither of them chose becomes the truest thing in both their lives. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #forcedmarriage #arrangedmarriage #marriageofconvenience #enemiestolovers #oppositesattract #strictduke #rebelliousheroine #spirited #contractmarriage #slowburn #broodingduke #aristocrat #nobleman #truelove #thaw #againstsociety #perioddrama #englishnobility #sweepingromance #happilyeverafter #wholesome #classromance #headstrong #candlelight period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, forced marriage romance, arranged marriage, marriage of convenience, contract marriage, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, strict duke, rebellious heroine, spirited woman, too rebellious to marry, slow burn romance, brooding duke falls in love, the thaw, frosty hero warms, against society, regency love story, sweeping happy ending, english aristocracy, period drama for women, headstrong heroine, signed contract romance, neither expected to fall, wholesome historical fiction, true love, candlelit library, wax seal betrothal, prickly to warm, duke and his bride 📱 Follow us for more stories: ▶️ YouTube: @MI_MEDIA_OFFICIAL 📘 Facebook: @MiMediaOfficial0 📸 Instagram: @MiMediaOfficial 🎵 TikTok: @MI_MEDIA_OFFICIAL
