Summary

A jilted duke. A shy wallflower. A marriage of convenience that neither of them wants.

When Lady Emma Carlisle's twin sister jilts the wealthy and influential Duke of Ashford, their distraught parents pressure shy Lady Emma to marry the duke in her sister's place, dashing her hopes of a love match.

Lady Emma is determined to make the best of the situation, but her new husband is cold and aloof and wants nothing to do with her. In his quieter moments, she catches glimpses of a thoughtful and intelligent man she'd like to know better. If only he weren't determined to keep her at a distance.

Lady Emma is willing to offer the duke her heart, but she knows there's every chance he'll break it. After all, why would the most handsome man in the ton fall for his second-best bride?

If you love the glamor of Bridgerton or the drama of Downton Abbey, then The Duke's Inconvenient Bride is your next must-listen steamy Regency romance!

A great read, a nice back story with interesting characters. Well written and excellent narration. A really worthwhile Regency novel. Highly recommended. Looking forward to other novels by this author.

that's probably because the narrator sounds utterly bored while reading.. it's really hard to stay focused when it's like that

it was okay, nothing fantastic
