A Darling for a Duke (Honourable Hearts)

A battle-hardened soldier and newly minted duke is torn between duty, and his desire to shield an innocent woman's heart, without sacrificing his own...

Justin Bradshaw vowed never to marry. Only he is married, courtesy of a contract landed him when his elder brother died requiring him to abandon the military life he loved, to protect a dukedom generations in the making. There's a chance he can regain his marital freedom and retain his self-respect, if he can find an honorable way to void the marriage before his new wife regains her memory...

Brooklyn Darling has no idea her new husband is trying to spare her heart by sending her away. Or that he wishes to nullify their marriage. Nor does she know she wanted no part of the arrangement in the first place. She only knows that she's the Duchess of Camberleigh and her place is at her husband's side--provided she can convince him to let her stay.

Only...

She's fallen in love. With her husband. The heartbreaking question is: can he ever love her?
