The Duke’s Unexpected Family by Alianna Brookes
“Did you truly faint… or did you trap me, Miss Carstone?”
“Would it matter, Your Grace… if the outcome is the same?”
Miss Thalia Carstone returns to London with nothing but a fraying gown, a ruined reputation and a child she must protect. She needs a husband. And fast. So she makes one reckless choice… and binds herself to the most feared man in society.
Ronan Ward, the Duke of Westvale, is a shadow among men. Scarred, ruthless, and sworn never to wed. But when scandal leaves a lady in his arms, honor demands the unthinkable. He will marry her… but he will never trust her.
Except the woman now bearing his name is not what she seems.
And as suspicion gives way to something far more dangerous, Ronan faces an impossible choice: claim the family he never believed he deserved… or lose the only woman who has ever dared to see the man beneath the darkness.
*If you like powerful Dukes, loving Duchesses and a marvelous depiction of the majestic Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke’s Unexpected Family is the novel for you.
