A Dark Why Choose Historical Romance ThrillerBy Eleanor Ashgrove

About this audiobook
Rosalind Ashby arrives at Blackmoor Hall in a snowstorm, carrying her father's last words and a question he died before answering.
She's been made the ward of a duke she's never seen. The house is run by his steward, Calder. Her health is watched by his physician, Ives. And the Duke himself is either traveling, dead, or standing in the room — depending on which of the three men she asks.
Rosalind isn't there for charity. Her father implicated Blackmoor in a death that was never reported, and someone has arranged the house to make her forget why she came.
She spends one winter unearthing a body, a second marriage certificate, and the truth about what all three men have been protecting her from.
*The Cold Duke's Ward* is a dark why-choose historical romance thriller about a snowbound house, three men with the same secret, and a woman who inherits it all.
