THE HARTWYCK SISTERS

Lady Elenor Hartwyck has always done what duty demanded. As the eldest of the Hartwyck sisters, she has spent years protecting her family and putting their needs before her own. Love was never part of her plans—until an unexpected proposal changes everything.

Haunted by the scars of war, Duke Alexander Ashford needs a duchess, not a love story. A marriage of convenience seems the perfect solution, but Elenor’s warmth and quiet strength begin to break through the walls around his guarded heart.

As whispers of scandal spread through London society and hidden enemies threaten their future, Elenor and the duke must decide whether to cling to duty—or risk everything for a love neither of them expected.

Filled with dazzling ballrooms, grand country estates, witty banter, unforgettable characters, and a heartwarming romance, The Duke’s Unexpected Duchess is the enchanting first novel in The Hartwyck Sisters series.

Because a Hartwyck lady bows to no one but her heart.
