She Needed Husband by Christmas; the Duke Needed a Distraction — but One of Them Was Hiding a Secret
A wronged heiress must secure a husband by Christmas or lose everything to a scheming uncle, and a grieving duke needs a betrothed to escape the marriage hunt, so the two strike a cold bargain over a frozen fountain. But a false engagement built to be dissolved in the spring begins, night by candlelit night, to turn into something neither of them dared want, while a jealous rival guards a secret that could bring the whole winter down. A tender, clean period romance about two guarded hearts, one hidden grave, and the courage to love out loud before it is too late. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #cleanromancestory #marriageofconvenience #fakebetrothal #fakeengagement #christmasromance #wintromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #dukeromance #broodinghero #secondchanceatlove #enemiesbecomelovers #hiddensecret #forbiddenlove #slowburnromance #audiobookromance #romancestory #storiesforwomen #bedtimestory #longstory #dukeschoice #grievinghero #heiress #inheritance #truelove #happilyeverafter #christmaslovestory period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, marriage of convenience, fake betrothal, fake engagement, pretend engagement, christmas romance, winter romance, clean romance, wholesome romance, brooding duke, grieving duke, wronged heiress, inheritance plot, secure a husband by christmas, will and inheritance, scheming uncle, jealous rival, hidden secret, second chance at love, slow burn romance, love story, long romance story, romance audiobook, bedtime story for adults, stories for older women, the dukes choice, duke and heroine, forbidden love, true love, happily ever after, regency england, aristocracy romance, snow romance, twelfth night, betrayal and redemption, learning to love again
