Promised to the Beastly Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Novel

By Harper Bennett

Her father intends to sell her to the highest bidder...even if that man is the beastly Duke of Fairfax! Arabella Thornhill is between a rock and a hard place. Her father has decided she won't have her long-overdue London season after all - and will instead be betrothed to a man she has never met before: Nathaniel Standish, the scarred and embittered Duke of Fairfax. Nathaniel Standish has learned better than to believe in love. The deep scar on his face is a constant reminder of his tragic past: a past that has left him unable to hope for happiness. Yet Fairfax needs an heir, and that means one thing: a marriage of convenience, with whatever woman will have him. From the very beginning, Arabella Thornhill doesn't feel merely convenient. The spark in her calls up parts of himself Nathaniel thought lost forever, and her ability to look past dark rumors and see his true self touches his heart. Yet the more Arabella believes in Nathaniel's innocence, the greater the danger looming over her becomes. When their hidden enemy strikes, can Arabella and Nathaniel find their way back to each other and reveal the truth? Promised to the Beastly Duke is a sweet Regency novella featuring an arranged betrothal, a misunderstood duke, and a plucky heroine willing to stand up for the truth even when it seems no one will listen. Perfect for readers who want a strong happily-ever-after with absolutely no cheating or swearing.
