Amelia Langford, a spirited and sharp-witted daughter of a fallen duke, avoids men at all costs, preferring the company of her clever lady friends and her beloved books. Unfortunately, after her father's threats reach a new level, she finds herself wed under bizarre circumstances to William Archer, a man she believes to be a humble footman. Little does she know, Will hides a royal secret as the Duke of Keverstone himself, concealed beneath a hastily-crafted lie.

Will, battling his own past demons and the increasing guilt of his deception, comes to love Amelia for her intellect, her resilience, and her unyielding spirit. "Her Duke Thrushbeard" is a captivating regency romance that delves deep into the themes of freedom, love, social hypocrisy, and the importance of truth and responsibility.
