They Poured Wine on Her Gown for Sport — Unaware the Duke Had Already Chosen Her
At a glittering ball, a poor gentlewoman in a plain muslin gown is surrounded by the fashionable set and has claret poured down her skirts for sport, while the whole room laughs. What none of them know is that the feared Duke of Jessamy has been watching from the colonnade all evening -- and that he had quietly chosen her weeks before, for something he saw her do when she believed no one was looking. What he does next, in front of four hundred candles and every family of consequence in the shire, no one in that ballroom will ever forget. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #dukeschoice #cinderellastory #rags2riches #ballroomromance #humiliation #poorrelation #companion #arrangedmarriage #forbiddenlove #secretbetrothal #kindnessmatters #truelove #devotion #broodinghero #alphahero #audiobook #audiostory #romancestory #storytime #bedtimestory #englishnobility #jessamycourt #wineonhergown #chosenbyaduke #truelovewins #hersecretadmirer period romance, historical romance, regency romance, victorian romance, duke romance, duke story, the dukes choice, clean romance, wholesome romance, love story, romance audiobook, romance story, bedtime story, storytime, ballroom scene, ruined gown, wine on her gown, humiliated at the ball, poor relation, lady companion, orphan heroine, plain gown, cinderella story, rags to riches, secret betrothal, he already chose her, brooding duke, feared duke, duke of jessamy, tamsin ashby, jessamy court, cruel society, mean girls humbled, public defense, chosen by a duke, quiet kindness, true love wins, english nobility, historical fiction, romantic story for women
