The Duke and his Duchess in distress:
A Bride for the Cursed Duke of Ardnamurchan
by Victoria Haywood
Bride for the Cursed Duke of Ardnamurchan
Lady Fenella Munro has no illusions about why
she’s marrying a stranger. Her family is drowning in
debt, and Ewan Blackwood, Duke of
Ardnamurchan, has offered to settle every shilling
of it — in exchange for a bride. That he’s buried two
fiancées already, both under circumstances the
Highlands still whisper about, is simply the price of
saving everyone she loves.
She arrives at his storm-battered castle expecting a
monster. She finds instead a duke drowning in debt,
haunted by grief he’s never been allowed to name,
and guarding a locked door at the end of a corridor
no servant will walk after dark.
The deeper Fenella digs into her new husband’s
past, the clearer it becomes that Ardnamurchan
isn’t cursed — it’s being carefully, patiently bled dry
by someone the family has trusted for years. And
as she and Ewan close in on the truth, she realizes
the danger isn’t behind them. It’s sitting across the
dinner table, refilling her wine, and calling her
cousin.
A slow-burn Highland romance of forced marriage,
buried secrets, and a duchess who refuses to be
anyone’s next quiet tragedy.
