The Duke’s Bargain Bride by Alianna Brookes

“Marry me, and you will be free.”

Lady Clara has no illusions about love. Trapped by a ruthless father and threatened with a future that will erase her entirely, she does the unthinkable. She seeks refuge with the most feared man in England…
The Duke of Ravencourt does not rescue damsels. His world is cold, controlled, and deliberately empty, and that is exactly how he intends to keep it. So when Clara offers him a bargain, he accepts on his terms.
A marriage of convenience. One year only. No love. No promises.
But living under the same roof was never part of the contract. Nor was the way Clara begins to matter more than the rules. Because breaking them for her would destroy the control that keeps him whole.

*If you like powerful Dukes, loving Duchesses and a marvelous depiction of the majestic Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke’s Bargain Bride is the novel for you.
