About this listen
Bound by duty. Torn by desire.
Contented serving as a physician in America, Dr. Harry Radcliffe never imagined he'd return to England as the Duke of Ashton. Inheriting the title upon his brother's untimely death, Harry is nothing like his cruel twin. Yet, his resemblance to the late duke makes his brother's beautiful widow wary.
Left destitute by her abusive husband, Margaret Radcliffe remains resilient and struggles to rebuild her life. Yet she can't ignore the uncanny likeness Harry bears to the man who tormented her. And even if her heart whispers that Harry is different, her mind remains cautious.
As Harry navigates the treacherous waters of society to find a bride and secure his dukedom, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Margaret. Battling their growing feelings, their forbidden attraction risks scandal and the legitimacy of any future children.
In a world where duty and desire collide, can Harry and Margaret overcome the shadows of the past and find a love strong enough to withstand the trials ahead?

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness.

Liked the narrators
I really enjoyed having male and female narrators. It made the story really come alive. The storyline was interesting with a twin (who is a doctor) inheriting a dukedom and his brother’s widow realizing he is not her abusive husband. I think it was frowned upon at that time having a marriage between a widow and her brother-in-law. It was nicely done.

Exceptional
Most audios have one narrator doing both male and female voices, while this is ok it's also distracting. In this audio there are two narrators which makes all the difference in the listen experience. The story alone is thrilling, entertaining and fantastic then add in the two narrators and it brings the entire book to and exceptional unique level that will thrill the listener. A 10+ for an exceptional experience.

Love it!
Dr. Harry Radcliffe was a Brithish doctor in American, forced to go back home and becoming the Duke of Ashton at the death of his brother and expecting to deal with an arrogant woman like his brother.. He was wrong.
Margaret Radcliffe, never having met her brother-n-law was in shock when he arrived., for he and her deceased brother ware identical twins. She expected that he was just as cruel as her decased husband. She was wrong.
This is a great stor of two individuals who slowly discover who each other were and the twist and turns of signle young ladies and their mothers who wanted to snag a Duke for their daughs. In the end they did not.
Must read so you kow what happened. And I loved the fact that there was two narrators in the telling of the story.

Rediscovering My Favorite Historical Romance
This is probably my favorite historical romance novel. The story is an emotional roller coaster. The widowed Margaret, finally free of her abusive husband, is awaiting the arrival of his brother, the new duke. To her horror, the man is her husband's identical twin! Only time will tell what other similarities they might share.
This audiobook is unique in that it uses both a male and female narrator. This really adds to the story. The few other books I've listened to have been just a single female voice. I think this format is much better. I'm several chapters in, and I'm having a hard time keeping my listening confined to my commuting time.
I received a free download from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Exciting Romance
This story has so much that happens in it. it's really a roller coaster ride, but in a good way. just when you think the main characters are in the clear, something else happens. normally, in a romance novel one one challenge happens, but this book had at least four. There is a HEA and all the characters ended up doing the rright thing at the end.
