My Unruly Duchess by Hanna Hamilton

“Tell me you don’t feel it, Helena.” “…You first, Your Grace.”

Lady Helena’s secret life as a disguised author nearly costs her everything. Until the formidable Duke of Hawthorne saves her from scandal. His price? A marriage of convenience.
Sebastian needs a duchess to protect the orphanage project that drives his life. But the bride he gains is no demure ornament. She’s a tempest in silk, daring him to lose the control he’s built his world upon.
She promised not to fall in love. He promised not to lose his composure. But the longer he plays the role of devoted husband, the harder it becomes to remember what ruin truly means: falling for her.

*If you like a realistic yet charming depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then My Unruly Duchess is the novel for you.
