The Day of the Virgin Duchess — Harriet Caves

She's exactly what he isn't looking for…

Only her monstrous eyes are to blame for Lady Madeline Beaumont's misery. With her step-sister's constant harassment and her own father avoiding the sight of her, meeting his ultimatum to marry seems impossible.

Betrayed in the worst way imaginable, William Lyndon, the Duke of Sherrington, can only hope to live up to his reputation as a rake. And also, find a timid wife to complete his duty of having an heir.

But kissing the innocent Lady at the masquerade was not something he had planned. Nor that he wouldn't be able to approve any of the suitors she looks for to marry while he burns for her. Unless… She is ruined forever.
