Most Desired Duke of Verholme Married Her — Then Told Her She Would Spend Their Wedding Night Alone

The most desired Duke in England marries an overlooked, penniless spinster for the sake of his great cold house — and coldly tells her, before the ink on their marriage lines is dry, that she will spend their wedding night, and every night after, alone. But behind his distance lies an old grief and a vow made at a rain-soaked grave, and over the slow turning of the seasons a marriage in name only begins, thread by quiet thread, to warm into something neither of them dared to hope for. A tender, clean, sweeping period romance about a broken man, a brave forgotten woman, and the love that finally brings a whole house in from the cold. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #regencyromance #victorianromance #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #marriageofconvenience #arrangedmarriage #dukeromance #brooding #forgottenwoman #spinster #enemiestolovers #slowburn #truelove #romancestory #audiostory #storytime #romancebooks #historicalfiction #dukesbride #weddingnight #secondchance #healinglove #tenderromance #nobility #estate #cinderellastory #grumpysunshine #woundedhero #familysaga #happilyeverafter period romance, historical romance, duke, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, marriage of convenience, arranged marriage, duke romance, brooding duke, wounded hero, forgotten woman, overlooked heroine, spinster bride, slow burn romance, true love, love story, romance audiobook, romance story, historical fiction, nobility, aristocracy, english estate, wedding night, secret grief, vow, thawing heart, cold husband, second chance love, healing romance, tender love story, happily ever after, cinderella story, from the cold, brave heroine, quiet love, family saga, duchess, great house, romance for women
