Jilted at the Altar, She Fled to the Quiet of the Country — The Duke of Carradine Followed Her There

Abandoned at the altar before four hundred staring faces, a proud young woman walked the long aisle alone and fled to the quiet of the country to bury her humiliation where no one could see it — certain no man worth having would ever want a bride so publicly cast aside. But a brooding Duke who had loved her in silence for two years could not stay in town while she grieved alone, and rode north to her country refuge. What he came to tell her in a garden of late roses would turn the cruelest morning of her life into the most fortunate, and see the faithless man humbled by the very world that had whispered against her. #periodromance #regencyromance #historicalromance #dukeromance #cleanromance #jiltedbride #leftatthealtar #jilted #brokenengagement #slowburnromance #wholesomeromance #romancestory #lovestory #regencyera #victorianromance #aristocrat #broodingduke #protectivehero #secretadmirer #happilyeverafter #romancereadsaloud #romanceaudiobook #bedtimestory #storytime #cozyromance #countryromance #truelove #tenderlove #secondchanceatlove #fyp #grandmothertales #healinglove #cherished #happyending period romance, regency romance, historical romance, duke romance, clean romance, jilted bride, left at the altar, jilted at the altar, broken engagement, runaway bride country, slow burn romance, brooding duke, protective hero, wholesome romance, romance story, love story, regency era, victorian romance, aristocrat romance, secret admirer, longtime love, happily ever after, romance audiobook, read aloud romance, bedtime story for women, cozy romance, country romance, true love story, the duke followed her, second chance at love, faithless fiance, cherished heroine, healing love story, romance for older women, claimed by the duke, garden romance, dignity restored
