She Saved an Orphan with a Silver Locket—Then the Duke Arrived Claiming “He Is My Son”

Step into a heartwarming historical romance audiobook where a village widow saves an orphan with a silver locket, only to face a powerful duke who arrives claiming, “He is my son.”

Story Overview
In Victorian England, Clara Hayes, a doctor’s widow, takes in a feverish orphan boy found with nothing but a silver locket bearing a noble crest. When her letter reaches Nathaniel Merrow, Duke of Ashbourne, he rides to the village and discovers the boy, Samuel, may be his secret heir. Invited to Ashbourne Hall as Samuel’s guardian, Clara enters a world of aristocrats, estates, and quiet scandal, where duty and compassion slowly bloom into something deeper. This is a gentle, slow-burn marriage of convenience, found family, and second-chance love story filled with secrets, redemption, and a duke learning how to be a father.
