An Unusual Bride for the Beastly Duke
Emma Linfield“For who could ever learn to love a beast?”
The ton, Lady Olivia Fraser quickly learns, is harsher to those that deserve it least. With a facial deformity and a proverbial curse looming over his family, Vincent Price, Duke of Kingham, is notorious for being as cold as the castle he isolates himself in. Left to handle his late father’s debts, marrying a rich heiress seems to be the only option. Until the day he meets Lady Olivia. When Olivia falls mysteriously ill, Vincent is certain the perpetrator is not the Kingham curse but one of flesh and blood. His worst nightmare becomes reality when, still sick, Olivia disappears. And his only clue to her whereabouts is a trail of torn clothes and broken jewelry…
With her marriage prospects looking bleak after her betrothed left her on their wedding day, she has resigned herself to a life of spinsterhood. Until the day her father announces she is to marry a Duke. And not just any Duke…
As Olivia takes it upon herself to transform the dreary castle, her smiles thaw the ice around Vincent’s heart.
