“She carries a scandal that was never hers.
He carries secrets that could ruin them both.”

Once welcomed in society, Elowen Tremaine now walks beneath a cloud of whispers. Though innocent of wrongdoing, she is marked by her father’s disgrace ,and the ton is quick to remind her of it. Quiet, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to her ailing father, Elowen has learned to endure scrutiny with grace and to expect nothing from powerful men who have everything to lose by noticing her.

Lucas Beaumont, Duke of Beaushire, has little patience for society’s judgments. Newly titled and still haunted by his father’s sudden death, he watches the ton with careful reserve, and notices far more than he ever intended. When Elowen reappears at his ball, shadowed by scandal and watched by rivals eager to claim her, Lucas cannot look away.
What begins as watchful concern deepens into something far more dangerous.

As a rival suitor presses his advantage and unsettling truths emerge linking Lucas’s family to the scandal that ruined Elowen’s, the duke must choose between preserving his reputation, or defending the woman society has already condemned.
Elowen, meanwhile, must decide whether she dares trust the attention of a powerful man when experience has taught her that admiration often comes with a cost.
Because in a world ruled by whispers and appearances, love is rarely safe, and choosing it may demand everything.

A clean, emotionally rich Regency romance featuring a protective duke, a scandal-touched heroine, slow-burn tension, and a love that grows quietly, but refuses to be silenced.

If you enjoy historical romance with compelling characters and a hint of redemption, “The Protective Duke”is sure to captivate your heart. This emotional tale of love, hope, and a marriage of convenience promises a captivating journey.
