The Feared Duke's Bride
(2026)(The fourth book in the Bargain Brides series)
A novel by Amanda Stones
"A Duke feared for his face… and the healer who looked past it to the wound beneath."
The reclusive Duke of Carrow has spent twenty years behind his walls, letting the whole county believe a monster lives on the hill. Scarred by an old fire and guarded to the bone, he keeps his face from the light and no one close enough to wound him again.
Lydia Merrow has never learned to flinch. A gentle healer who has sat up with the dying and buried her own mother, she knows a scar is only a place where a person was hurt and lived. So when a smiling man of business comes to take the one meadow her mother left her, and the whole parish begs her to sign it away, the kindest woman in the county does the one thing no one expects. She says no.
When it becomes clear the schemer wants far more than a patch of grass, the Duke offers Lydia the only shelter he has. A marriage of convenience, his name for her protection and nothing more.
But a bargain makes a poor cage for a growing thing. As the guarded duke stands at her side, the ice he has lived behind begins to crack, and Lydia dares to believe she might be worth fighting for, not for her gentleness or her use, but simply for herself.
A sweet, clean Regency love story about the healer who refused to give up on a guarded heart. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily-ever-after worth every page.
No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a beautiful happily ever after.
