The Duke and the Scarred Bride by Maybel Bardot

“You should not have claimed my name, love. Now, you belong to me.”

Despite her scars, Miss Louisa has many prospects–but only because they see her as a charity case. Desperate to avoid the attention, she makes up a betrothal to a reclusive duke.
After years at war, Duke Percival must re-enter society. So when a lady he’s never met claims him as hers, he makes her a proposal she cannot resist: a marriage of convenience.
Yet his sweet bride is too tempting…and he’s about to lose control. Now, she can’t escape his dark desire any longer…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke and the Scarred Bride is the novel for you.
