A Bride for the Cold-Hearted Duke by BRIDGET BARTON

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Flawless Tale of Duty, Grief, and Growth

Rumors of a cold, cruel, and violent husband follow Clara down the aisle toward her new future. Instead of a monster, she finds Edward—a man burdened by grief and rough speech, yet kind in his own way. Edward, in turn, finds a wife who is remarkably insightful and compassionate.

The heart of the story lies in their mutual effort: Clara works to help him build a future, while Edward ensures she feels every bit the Duchess she has become. The characters are wonderful and the storyline runs flawlessly. While her family remains a constant problem, the story proves that sometimes you have to cut the tumors out to survive.
