What the Duke Doesn't Know [Mass Market Paperback] Ashford, Jane

A duke's daughter who's spent her life mastering languages and logic suddenly finds herself married to a man she barely knows — and shipped off to an English estate that feels more like exile than home. Lady Kawena was raised in the South Pacific by a scholar father obsessed with his work, not with raising a daughter. Now she's navigating English society, a bewildered new husband, and the realization that her arranged marriage might be built on mutual misunderstanding. Jane Ashford writes Regency romance with wit and heart, pairing cross-cultural tension with slow-burn attraction. This is the second book in the Duke's Sons series, but it stands alone. For fans of Julia Quinn's humour and Lisa Kleypas's emotional depth — perfect for a rainy afternoon with tea, or a beach read that still has some substance.
