The Duke’s Unclaimed Bride by Daphne Byrne

“That sharp tongue of yours… I could spend all day taming it. And I know exactly how.”

To secure her ward’s future, widow Lady Edith needs a husband. Quickly. Yet no suitor will take her when the girl she’s taken in is a commoner.
Scarred Duke Laurence must marry to claim his fortune, but he refuses to continue his line. When a bold widow meets his gaze without flinching, he offers her marriage—and her ward a home.
He only meant to give Edith safety, nothing else. Until he learns that she’s still a maiden. Now, he burns to teach her pleasure, to make her moan and tremble…for him alone.

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