The Reluctant Duke's Dilemma: A Regency Era Romance (The Hope Clinic Book 1)

Dr. Harry Radcliffe was content practicing medicine in America until he inherits the title of Duke of Ashton following his brother's unexpected death. Unlike his cruel twin, Harry bears a striking physical resemblance to the late duke—a resemblance that makes his brother's widow, Margaret, deeply wary. Margaret was left destitute by her abusive husband but has worked to rebuild her life with resilience. She struggles to reconcile Harry's apparent kindness with his uncanny likeness to the man who caused her suffering, and caution wars with what her heart suggests about his true nature. As Harry seeks a suitable bride to secure his position in society, he finds himself drawn to Margaret. Their growing attraction creates a dangerous situation: any relationship between them risks scandal and could jeopardize the legitimacy of future heirs. Caught between duty and desire, Harry and Margaret must determine whether they can move past the shadows of the past to build a lasting love.
