The Duke's Convenient Wife

When the formidable Duke of Ravensmere arrives with a proposal as cold and precise as a legal contract, Miss Juliana Vale knows she is not being courted-she is being chosen. With her family standing on the edge of ruin, refusing him is a luxury she can no longer afford.

Their marriage begins as an arrangement of necessity: his protection, power, and name in exchange for the alliance that will save them both. But Juliana has never been obedient, and Adrian Ashford is not the unfeeling man he appears to be.

Behind the grandeur of Ravensmere Abbey lie old wounds, dangerous secrets, and a battle of wills neither of them expected to fight. As pride gives way to desire and strategy yields to something far more perilous, Juliana must decide whether the walls around her husband's heart can be broken-or whether she has bound herself to a man who will never truly let her in.

A sweeping historical romance of wit, tension, and slow-burning passion, The Duke's Convenient Wife is the story of two people who marry for every reason except love.
