Bound by an Arranged Match to the Feared Duke of Hexworth — She Challenged Him at Every Turn
Bound by an arranged match to a duke the whole county calls cold, hard, and dangerous, a spirited bride refuses to be cowed — meeting his feared black stare chin up and entirely unafraid, challenging him at every turn. He expected meekness and gratitude; he did not expect a woman who beats him at chess, corrects his neglected library, and tells him to put his dangerous voice away. A witty, warming tale of two strong wills sparring their way from enemies to the truest love, as a guarded man discovers the one soul brave enough to sail straight past his defenses. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #cleanromance #regencyromance #victorianromance #dukeromance #enemiestolovers #arrangedmarriage #spiritedheroine #marriageofconvenience #sparring #wittyromance #strongheroine #fearedduke #slowburn #devotion #perioddrama #englishnobility #romancestory #truelove #thawingromance #swoonworthy #thedukeschoice #battleofwits #chessromance #falleninlove #banter period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance, the dukes choice, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, spirited heroine, feared duke, marriage of convenience, battle of wits, witty banter romance, strong willed bride, she challenged him, sparring lovers, slow burn romance, brooding duke softens, chess romance, refuses to be cowed, fearless heroine, period drama romance, english nobility, true love story, devotion, thawing cold duke, swoony historical romance, romance for women, wholesome period romance, fell in love, mutual respect romance
