THE BLIND DUKE A Scarred Hearts Collection Romance A bitter duke. A spirited heroine. One house they cannot escape—and a desire neither can control. Nicolas Whitmore, Duke of Castlemere, was once one of England's most brilliant scientific minds. Then a devastating explosion stole his sight, killed his assistant, and left him a bitter recluse with a razor-sharp tongue and no patience for anyone who dares enter his world. Eight readers have already fled Castlemere House. Eliza Bancroft has no intention of becoming the ninth. Penniless and desperate to save her ailing brother, she accepts the position despite the duke's fearsome reputation. What she finds is a maddening, arrogant man who seems determined to drive her away—and a brilliant mind that refuses to back down from a challenge. Their first encounters are a battle of wills. His cutting sarcasm meets her quick wit. His dark moods collide with her indomitable spirit. And the more Nicolas tries to intimidate her, the more determined Eliza becomes to stand her ground. But living under the same roof has its dangers. Long hours spent reading by his side, heated debates that stretch late into the evening, and fleeting touches that linger far too long begin to blur the line between hostility and desire. The infuriating duke is becoming the one man Eliza cannot stop thinking about. And the woman who refuses to pity him is awakening a hunger Nicolas thought he had buried forever. He is the last man she should want. She is the last woman he should need. Because a penniless clergyman's daughter is no suitable match for a duke. His family threatens his inheritance, society is ready to condemn her, and Lady Penelope Fairfax has ambitions that leave no room for Eliza. As desire deepens into something neither can deny, Nicolas and Eliza must decide whether they will surrender to the expectations of their world—or risk everything for a love that defies them all. Can the grumpiest duke in England find happiness with the one woman who refuses to be conquered? And can two hearts that began at war learn to trust the passion drawing them together? Discover a steamy Victorian historical romance featuring grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a wounded duke, and forbidden desire. The Blind Duke is part of the Scarred Hearts Collection, a collection of independent historical romances. Each novel features its own love story and can be read on its own, with no previous reading required. Enter Castlemere House and discover a love neither darkness nor society can extinguish.
