The Duke's Reluctant Heiress
A Historical Regency Romance NovelBy Vivienne Aldgate
Length11h 22m
About this audiobook
Sylvia Carroway inherits a shipping fortune, seven warehouses, and a father's will that demands she marry within the year or lose everything to a cousin she cannot bear. The Duke of Wrenfield has a duchy, a mother who gambles, and no money at all. Their lawyers call it a settlement. Sylvia calls it a transaction. She arrives at Wrenfield Hall with her own accountant and no intention of being managed, and discovers a man who asks her about the price of hemp before he asks about her dowry. But the cousin is contesting the will, a smuggling rumour is spreading through London, and the Court of Exchequer does not care about anyone's feelings. A smart, slow-burning Regency romance about a marriage arranged in a law office and finished, very deliberately, somewhere else entirely.
