Unexpectedly Engaged to the Duke

A Historical Regency Romance Novel

By: Emily Honeyfield

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lady Penelope Cromwell, a bluestocking with dreams of schools for orphans and a spine of steel, never intended to marry for convenience. However, when a faulty door traps her with the brooding Duke of Ravenshollow, duty demands a swift, sensible wedding, turning a whisper into a tempest of gossip and attention.

Sebastian Montclair, Duke of Ravenshollow, has long walled his heart behind grief and guilt. Yet, when honor compels him to shield Penelope’s name and restore his failing estate, her incisive mind and kindness shatter his solitude and make his wounded heart beat again.

Sparks fly as Penelope and Sebastian clash, but they will soon have to face a jealous duchess and a charming “heir” who contests the dukedom. Can truth, trust, and an unexpected intellectual partnership save their legacy and their hearts before scandal tears apart all they have built?
