The Forgotten Duchess by Violet Hamers

“No need to be scandalized by a simple kiss, wife. I plan to do so much more to you…”

With her reputation already in tatters, Eleanor is caught in a scandal with the infamously cold-blooded Duke of Ironvale. Yet, on the very same night she becomes his wife, he abandons her…
After an accident, all Duke Frederick knows is that he has been married for a year. But his wife seems anything but thrilled when he gives her a reunion kiss… despite the way she melts in his arms…
Bound together until his memories return, Eleanor is determined to avoid her husband at all cost. But Frederick can see the effect his touch has on her. And he is not planning to leave his wife unravished again…

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