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.
