A Duke Worth Fighting For by Christina Britton

So, she is shocked when she starts to notice Daniel.

She mourns her husband and has no intention of moving on with anyone else. Devoted to preserving the memory of her husband and their bond, Margery does not want to remarry. T hey are both such fantastic, well-developed characters. I love Margery and Daniel’s individual stories, as well as their love story. Socially awkward Daniel has no idea how to find a wife, so when Margery offers to help, he jumps at the chance. Desperate to protect her husband’s reputation, Margery agrees to help Daniel, the Duke of Carlisle, find a wife in exchange for pay. Margery is being blackmailed by someone who is threatening to spread rumors about her late husband. It is a wonderful historical romance that follows Margery, a widow who has vowed never to remarry, and Daniel, a duke who needs a wife. As they begin to confide in one another, Daniel discovers that he’s unexpectedly connected to Margery’s late husband, and she will have to decide if she can let her old love go for the promise of a new one.ĭisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon, and I may earn a small commission, at no cost to you, if you purchase through my links.Ī story about love, family, forgiveness, and healing, A Duke Worth Fighting For is one of my favorite historical reads of the year.

When Daniel asks for help navigating Synne’s social scene, and they accidentally kiss, she realizes he’s the perfect person with whom to have an affair. Margery Kitteridge has been mourning her husband for four years, and while she’s not ready to consider marriage again, she does miss intimacy with a partner. Perhaps a month on the Isle of Synne can provide him with the practice necessary to find a wife who can tolerate him enough to give him an heir. But the idea of facing ballrooms and card parties is as intimidating as any battlefield in France, including the fight at Waterloo that left him terribly scarred. Synopsis: To protect the dukedom from an incompetent and greedy cousin, Daniel Hayle, Duke of Carlisle, has promised to find a bride in London this season.
