Crowned By the Midnight Duke by Patricia Haverton

“He is a monster,” said the world, but she loved him anyway…

Lady Cordelia McArty never thought she’d end up so miserable. Abandoned at the altar by the love of her life, she barely bats an eyelid when her father announces her marriage to another. After all, what does she have to live for?
There are many things Arthur Coghill, Duke of Redvale, is known for: the scar marring his face and the family history that gave the Dukedom its name being the most prominent. So, he never expected another member of the ton would come to offer him his daughter’s hand. Or the Lady Cordelia herself.
As the darkness melts away, Cordelia and Arthur finally taste happiness on the tip of their tongues. Happiness that turns into ashes when a sudden bout of unexplainable sickness leaves Cordelia on the brink of death. And true to his name, the Duke of Redvale will do everything to save her. For when is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it…
