His Mother Chose an Illiterate Tavern Girl to Disgrace Him—Until He Taught Her Love Letters

The Dowager chose an illiterate tavern girl to disgrace her son. Then the Duke did the unthinkable.

Rose never imagined standing in a Duke's study, surrounded by books she couldn't read. The marriage contract before her might as well have been hieroglyphics. Her fingers, rough from years scrubbing tavern floors, trembled against the fine paper while the Dowager Duchess's mocking laughter echoed from the corridor.

Marcus Thornton, Duke of Northwick, should have felt only rage at his mother's revenge. She'd chosen the most degrading bride imaginable—completely illiterate, pulled from the filthiest tavern in London—specifically to destroy his reputation before all of society.

But when he turned from the window and truly looked at his new wife, he saw something unexpected.
