The Wuthering Duke by Scarlett Osborne

“Duchess, you didn’t think you could misbehave for a year and escape my discipline, did you?”

With her husband missing for a year, Duchess Anna’s estate -and her freedom- hang by a thread. Desperate, she stages his funeral, hoping the shocking ruse will force him to return… before she’s ruined.
To protect his family from a disastrous secret, Duke Spencer needed to leave his wife on their wedding night. Now rumors of her scandalous behavior threaten to expose everything… And he will restore order his way: discipline.
Spencer finds far too much pleasure in teaching his unruly wife every lesson she’s owed…before he vanishes again. But Anna is done being abandoned. And she’s more than ready to fight dirty.

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