  • A young duke finds a practical duchess, neither of them suspecting that their match will lead to a legacy of love.
    Gregory Dinard, a young and inexperienced duke, finds himself in need of a companion to help him navigate the intricacies of his new role. Uncertain of his abilities and unwilling to take a chance at love, he looks for a marriage of mutual benefit rather than a match of mutual affection.
    A woman of grace and intelligence, Lady Cecilia never expects to catch a duke’s eye. Despite her surprise, she agrees to the arrangement when the duke proposes an alliance with her, knowing it would allow her the freedom and opportunity to explore her love of architecture.
    As they embark on their new life together, Gregory discovers both an affection for and an undeniable attraction to his wife that he cannot ignore. But can a practical marriage become something more, or will he face a future of unrequited love for his duchess?
    This is the prequel novella to the Clairvoir Castle Romances series, and can be enjoyed as a standalone, but will be most satisfying to those who have met the duke and duchess before.

    I seem to be on a "Sally Birtton" marathon of some sorts.
    I simply can't get enough of your beautiful and masterful written characters. And the lovable and interesting supporting characters.
    Your plots are interesting and sweet. Never a dull moment in between chapters. I truly enjoy the simplicity and purity of these romances. They are very believable.
    I think you, Sally, for sharing your talents with us.

    I'll definitely keep this playlist in my saved items to listen to again, starting with this book and then go back to the beginning. I am so thankful for this prequel of the duke and dutchess' story that gives so much greater depth to the other volumes where there presence is less focused but their impact still so great.
    Thank you so much Sally for sharing your passion and your talent, your sense of humour and the depth of thought in your characters. How blessed you must be. I have heard it said that authors write about what they know and what is truly evident in all your books is that you know how to love and be loved.
    Thank you for choosing Ms Jessica Elisa Boyd to narrate this whole series as she does an excellent job. Just as much as I have appreciated other narrators on other series or books and that they have undoubtedly made those excellent by giving their voice to the characters, so does Ms Boyd do absolute justice to this series and I look forward to any possible continuation in this series with her voice bringing life to your writing.
    May you be blessed as well as your family and may your talent and passion of story continue to bring so much joy and pleasure to so many more people.

      I’ve just finished A Duchess for the Duke. I have enjoyed it very much. I remembered the ugly chairs from the library in one of the other Cleaver stories. I think it’s time to reread the rest of the stories to keep the continuity going. The other store is will have more meaning I think now that I know the beginning of the new castle and it’s inhabitants. Thank you once more for such a lovely storied afternoon.

    Ok I was not expecting to love this story so much!! I usually don't enjoy novellas as the shorter length doesn't allow me to care about the characters as much as a full length novel or the romance feels rushed. This one really surprised me. I liked and cared for the characters really early on, and their love story made my heart flutter all throughout. The last chapter was so adorable and made me melt!! I think I'll be listening to this one again. Thanks so much for writing this ❤ as with all of your Castle Clairvoir stories, I love the low angst. It allows me to fully enjoy the story without feeling stressed or anxious. There's plenty of that in my real life already 😅 so it's so wonderful to escape to this world ❤❤❤❤❤

He knows his love for her early and declares it first. A rush for a women’s heart is to know that he loves her completely and assuredly.

    📕👍😍 I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel Novela to a series. If you haven’t read any of this authors books, they are thoroughly enjoyable day, or in general historical Regency. And very well done I moved by her, and this particular one, the cultivating of the emotions gradually brought to the point of expression in the way that we expect between two people the dialogue is very well done the descriptions of the time in terms of. Understanding the ton the responsibilities and priorities of the elite aristocracy. Yes, they were expectations. That were the standard and different for each level of this is very thoroughly expressed here. Enjoyed it. Look forward to listening to other of Sally’s work and I hope you enjoy it as well.
