The Reluctant Duke's Dilemma

About the book

Bound by obligation. Pulled apart by longing.

Thriving in his role as a dedicated doctor in America, Dr. Harry Radcliffe never fathomed that he would one day return to England as the Duke of Ashton. Given the title after his brother's sudden passing, Harry is nothing like the cruel man his twin once was. However, his striking resemblance to the late duke causes his brother's stunning widow to approach him with caution.

Left with nothing but heartache from her abusive spouse, Margaret Radcliffe remains steadfast in her resolve to rebuild her shattered life. Despite recognizing the stark similarities between Harry and her tormentor, she struggles to resist the undeniable pull she feels towards him, even as her rational mind warns her to stay guarded.

While Harry traverses the complexities of high society in search of a suitable wife to secure his dukedom, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Margaret. As their forbidden love grows, they face the imminent threat of scandal and the uncertain legitimacy of any future offspring.

In a realm where obligation clashes with desire, can Harry and Margaret conquer the demons of their past and forge a love that is capable of enduring the challenges that lie ahead?
