About this ebook
Sebastian Hawthorne, the Duke of Blackthorne, never intended to marry for anything but duty. Bound by honor and desperate to protect his family's legacy, he offers Charlotte his name, believing their union will silence the whispers of London's merciless ton. Instead, he gains a wife whose quiet courage, sharp intelligence, and compassionate heart challenge everything he thought he wanted.
As the newlyweds struggle to navigate a marriage born of obligation, a far darker threat emerges.
Hidden within Charlotte's late father's estate lies evidence capable of exposing a powerful nobleman's web of corruption, betrayal, and treason. The ruthless Marquess Nathaniel Blackwood has spent years burying the truth, and he will kill anyone who stands in his way. With enemies watching their every move and society eager to see them fail, Charlotte and Sebastian are drawn into a dangerous game where every secret uncovered brings them one step closer to disaster.
With only weeks before an act of Parliament places Blackwood's scheme beyond reach forever, the Duke and his accidental duchess must risk everything to uncover the truth. But in a world where trust is rare and betrayal wears a gentleman's smile, the greatest gamble may be surrendering their hearts.
Rich with glittering Regency ballrooms, dangerous political intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a breathtaking romance, The Accidental Duchess is a sweeping historical love story about honor, sacrifice, and discovering that sometimes the greatest love begins with the most unexpected promise.
