Books like When You Wish Upon A Duke by Isabella Bradford
Lady Charlotte Wylder, the eldest of the unruly Wylder sisters, has spent her life riding through Dorset’s countryside, eschewing London’s rigid etiquette for freedom and adventure. When her parents inform her that her future lies with the Duke of Marchbourne—a man embodying aristocratic propriety—Charlotte’s excitement turns to uncertainty, and she questions the very notion of arranged marriage.
Charlotte’s arrival in London and her first encounters with the Duke are fiercely flirtatious. Their wedding night ignites a passionate chemistry that both delights and terrifies Charlotte, who finds herself drawn to the Duke’s broad shoulders and dark intensity. Yet the Duke, cautious and protective, often pushes her away, causing tension in their new union.
As misunderstandings and hidden truths threaten to mar their marriage, Charlotte and the Duke must confront their pasts and decide whether their love can endure the scandal and scrutiny of Regency high society.
