The Beastly Duke's Sensible Bride
(2026)(The first book in the Sensible Marriages series)
A novel by Dorothy Sheldon
‘She needs a husband to survive.
He needs a wife to save his estate.
Neither expects love.’
Benedict Ravencroft, the scarred and reclusive Duke of Blackcliff, has eight months to marry…or lose everything.
Haunted by war and hidden from society, he has no illusions about what he offers a bride: a ruined face, a broken body, and a life bound to a cold, crumbling estate.
But failure is not an option.
If he does not wed, his ruthless cousin will inherit, and destroy the lives of everyone depending on him.
So Benedict does the unthinkable.
He goes to London…to find a wife.
Adelaide Whitmore has two weeks to choose her fate.
Marry a repulsive older man…
Or watch her family fall into ruin.
Penniless, overlooked, and running out of time, she has long abandoned dreams of love. Survival is all that remains.
Until a dangerous, impossible alternative appears.
A marriage born of desperation.
A bargain neither of them wants.
A bond that begins in duty…
…and threatens to become something far more dangerous.
Because the scarred duke who believes himself a monster
may be the only man capable of seeing her worth.
And the practical spinster he never wanted
may be the only woman who can teach him how to feel again.
If you love emotional historical romances filled with unforgettable characters, healing hearts, and second chances, "The Beastly Duke’s Sensible Bride" is a story you won’t want to miss. A marriage of convenience blossoms into a powerful love that lingers long after the last page.
No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
