A Wife for the Beast by Martha Barwood

“This marriage is merely a kindness to your father. A beast like me cannot hope for salvation.”

Lucian Hollowbridge, the Duke of Ravenshollow, hides behind the walls of his crumbling estate, and behind the battle scars that have twisted more than just his face. Feared by the ton and tormented by ghosts of war, he has no desire for companionship… until a dying promise binds him to a woman unlike any he’s ever known.
Evangeline Hartwell is strong, smart, and unafraid to speak her mind. When she enters a cold, unwanted marriage with the mysterious duke, she does so not for title or protection, but out of loyalty, and quiet hope. She refuses to be intimidated by Lucian’s rage or retreat from his pain.
As whispers spread that Lucian is unfit to hold his title, and his cousin schemes to take everything, Evangeline stands by his side, even when the world turns against them.

In a world that judges by appearances, can love find its way through darkness and scars?

“A Wife for the Beast” is a captivating tale of passion and secrets, where Evangeline and Lucian defy the expectations of their time in pursuit of true happiness. Rich with emotion and layered with intrigue, this unforgettable romance will sweep you away from the very first page and deliver a beautifully satisfying ending.
