The Duke’s Second Bride by Daphne Byrne

“The sounds you make, wife… I will draw them from you, over and over, and I will worship you through every one.”

Lady Ava thought she’d escaped control after her cruel husband died. But now, his lecherous brother dangles her allowance… and expects more than gratitude in return.
Duke Christian struggles to help his son overcome a stubborn stutter. Until an infuriating widow saves him, and the boy speaks clearly—but only to her.
To protect her and give his son a mother, Christian offers marriage in name only. Yet Ava is a defiant duchess, and every brush of her lips makes his long-held vow impossible to keep. For she moans his name far too deliciously…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke’s Second Bride is the novel for you.
