The Duke Dismissed His Governess with One Cruel Remark — and Spent Years Regretting It

The Duke Dismissed His Governess with One Cruel Remark — and Spent Years Regretting It... She was the governess he called merely adequate, a woman of quiet dignity who loved his motherless children and asked for nothing in return, and when he gave her that one cold word she chose to walk away with her head high rather than beg for warmth he would not give. But a feared and frozen Duke does not understand what he has lost until the silence of her absence undoes him, and four years later he comes a hundred miles to say the words he could not say before. Stay to the end for the reunion that will mend your heart. #periodromance #historicalromance #duke #regency #romance #lovestory #secondchanceromance #cleanromance #regencyromance #dukeromance #victorianromance #governessromance #dignifiedwalkaway #truelove #romancestory #historicalfiction #brooding #coldduke #slowburn #devotion #lovewins #happilyeverafter #storytime #audiostory #romancereads #reunion #againsttheodds #hewontbreak #walkaway #earnedlove period romance, historical romance, duke romance, regency romance, victorian romance, clean romance story, the dukes choice, governess and the duke, cold duke of carrowmere, dignified walk away romance, second chance love story, he broke without her, slow burn romance, brooding duke love story, governess heroine, reunion romance, years later reunion, proud duke begs, walked away with grace, regency era romance, victorian england romance, romance for older women, sweeping love story, devotion romance, quiet strength heroine, he called her adequate, the duke who lost her, true love story, romance audiobook, bedtime romance story, duke marries governess, healing romance, earned forgiveness
