Destroyed by Her Duke: A Second Chance Romance About a Royal Marriage in Crisis (Royal Redemption)

She gave him her heart, only to be destroyed by the ghost of his past.

Layla believed her marriage to Francis, Duke of Truwyth, was built on an unshakeable foundation. But when his first love—the wealthy, aristocratic Fleur Lovell—returns to high society, the fragile peace of Truwyth House shatters.

Pushed to the sidelines by a scheming mother-in-law and a society that measures her worth, Layla watches as Fleur weaponizes old nostalgia to wedge herself between the Duke and his wife. Blinded by misplaced honor and stubborn pride, Francis brushes off Layla’s warnings, convinced he can manage the women in his life—until his obliviousness drives his Duchess to walk out.

When a sudden disaster in the estate forest sweeps Layla away, Francis’s world goes dark.

Forced to face the devastating reality of what his negligence almost cost him, the proud Duke will cast aside his composure, tear down his aristocratic restraint, and brave the storm to save his wife. To win back her guarded heart, he must destroy the ghosts of his past, crush the lies that tore them apart, and prove that she is his undisputed priority in an epic, unhinged grovel.
