The Duke’s Inherited Bride: Scandal, Schemes and Secrets Regency Romance by Leontine Blythewood, Cressida Blythewood, R.A. Mariana
Jemima Cavendish never wanted this marriage, much less a child with the man who forced her into it. When her fiancé, Simon Harrington, the Duke of Wellesley, died unexpectedly, his title—and his fiancée—fell to his younger brother, Josiah Harrington, a man plagued by scandal and whispered improprieties. Now, Jemima finds herself reluctantly bound to the one man she swore to despise, burdened by an unwanted title and a life she never asked for.
When Jemima discovers she’s pregnant, resentment and fear twist into something darker. She loathes the child growing inside her, a child she sees as Josiah’s final act of control. One night, overcome by bitterness, she lets slip the terrible “I want this baby to die.”
Josiah, stunned but resolute, asks, “Why?”
“Because,” she spits back, “it’s your child.”
Despite her venom, Josiah remains steadfast, his care for her quiet and unyielding. Shielding her from society’s scrutiny, he endures her scorn, hoping that one day she’ll see past the man she’s misjudged. Can a love forged from mistrust and resentment transform a reluctant bride into a cherished wife? And will Jemima’s hardened heart soften in time to welcome the child she once swore she’d never love?
The Duke’s Inherited Bride is a story of reluctant passion, hard-won redemption, and the fragile hope of a second chance.
