Duration: 05:42:59

A woman on the brink of ruin.

A darkly handsome duke.

Will his secret be her downfall?

Yorkshire Moors, Regency England. Miss Catherine Conolly is surprised to receive an invitation to visit her wealthy but estranged uncle, the Viscount of Wharton, who hasn’t spoken to her in years.

Traveling by moonlight to the Viscount’s remote home on the Yorkshire Moors, Catherine and her mother are attacked by a dark, masked highwayman and his band of thieves. With nothing to give, they manage to arrive unharmed where they’re met by the Viscount’s assurance of revenge.

In the meantime, he insists that his niece try to capture the heart of the Duke of Rotherham, whose good looks belie his gloomy past. But as daunted as Catherine is by the duke, something about him seems oddly familiar – his stature, the shine in his eyes, the roughness in his voice.

Is it possible that the duke is the very same criminal who attacked her and her mother?
Just when she decides the idea is utterly ridiculous, the highwaymen strike again, and all clues point to the duke.

Trapped between her family’s pressure to marry him and the call of her heart, Catherine commits herself to sorting fanciful fiction from frightening fact.

Will she find love, or will the duke’s dark past be her undoing?

The Duke of the Moors is a sweet historical romance with a dash of suspense. If you like strong heroes, romantic moments, and surprising fortunes, then this delightful love story will keep you listening deep into the night. No cliffhanger.

The Warthon
Publisher: Audrey Ashwood
Released: Jun 18, 2020
Length: 5 hours

A broken duke.

An unexpected arrival.

Can her presence heal the man who swore never to love again?

Seven years ago, the Duke of Devonshire’s heart was shattered. After his late-wife’s death, the duke immersed himself in work and duty so he could numb the pain. Despite his possession of immense wealth, a historic title, strikingly handsome looks, and not few possible prospects, he wants for nothing in this world – except to be left alone.

That solitude ends suddenly with the arrival of a desperate letter from an old friend, containing his dying wish that the duke care for his daughter. The duke, unable to ignore his dying friend’s appeal, orders the house to be prepared for the child’s arrival – much-loved toys and dolls, a room with the best views in the front of the house, and a swing in the garden. Only a few days later, Isabella arrives at the luxurious Hardwick Manor.

She is a shock to the duke – in both age and appearance. He was expecting a child, and not a stunningly beautiful woman!

What fate awaits the woman who has lost everything? What of the duke who has sworn never to love again?

An Orphan for the Duke is a sweet Regency romance. If you like charming love stories, honourable heroes, and lush period settings, then you’ll adore Audrey Ashwood’s touching tale. No cliffhanger.
