A Lady to Melt the Duke's Heart: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Secrets and Courtships of the Regency)

Lady Charlotte Pembroke is motherless, spirited, and far more at ease on horseback than in a ballroom. Craving freedom more than fortune, she refuses to be held down until her father’s debts seal her future. Can a marriage to the proud Duke of Ravensmoor turn out to be more than an arrangement of convenience?

Edward Cavendish, the Duke of Ravensmoor, has returned home determined to do his duty and choose a wife with cold, sensible judgment. What he is not expecting is to find his match in the sharp-tongued earl’s daughter… Can his determination survive a love he never saw coming?

As Charlotte and Edward’s reluctant engagement turns into something neither of them could command, old secrets surface, debts give way to scandal, and two jealous hearts work in the shadows to tear them apart. Will love prove strong enough to bind Charlotte and Edward together, or will pride be their downfall?
