'Throw Her Out Before Breakfast,' the Duke Told His Butler — By Breakfast He Had Proposed
A November storm, a broken carriage wheel, and a meddling aunt leave a penniless gentlewoman dripping on the marble floor of Mallowfield Abbey at midnight - and the furious Duke wants her gone before the first cup of tea is poured. But Temperance Blythe is not frightened of him, not impressed by him, and entirely too useful to throw out into the rain. What happens between that order and that breakfast changes a cold house, a proud man, and one very stubborn heart forever. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #enemiestolovers #compromised #forcedproximity #stormynight #dukeandcommoner #proposal #slowburn #wittyromance #penniless #governess #aristocracy #englishcountryhouse #romancestory #audiostory #bedtimestory #storytime #historicalfiction #truelove #devotion #secondchances #banter #grumpyandsunshine #butler #meddlingaunt #happilyeverafter #cleanread duke romance, period romance, historical romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, love story, enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance, compromised heroine, stormy night, broken carriage, meddling aunt, marriage proposal, slow burn romance, witty banter, penniless gentlewoman, duke and commoner, english country house, aristocracy, brooding duke, spirited heroine, romantic audio story, story for women, bedtime story, historical fiction, true love, devotion, courtship, scandal, butler, housekeeper, mallowfield, proposal at breakfast, grumpy hero, happy ending, romance narration, clean read, class difference romance, regency england
