Sold By : Aria Norton

Miss Celia Maynard always struggled to adhere to society’s standards and prefers carrying the title of the boisterous hoyden. Nevertheless, the ton will never let her forget the mistakes she did when she was first introduced to the London Season. Despite her wild spirit being a challenge, her encounter with the proud Duke Bentinck will lead her on an adventurous journey of love that she could never imagine.

Will her troubled past destroy her chance at happiness?

Lord Cameron Bentinck is the wealthy and respected owner of Welbeck Abbey. During a grand party he hosts in celebration of his friend’s wedding, he comes across the dashing Celia and the gossip around her name. He initially attempts to avoid her, thinking there is no room in his sophisticated life for a hoyden, but soon realises there is so much more than what meets the eye. As he finds himself unexpectedly and deeply attracted by this gifted troublemaker, he finds himself torn between love and honour.

If only a blooming romance between a proper lord and the famous hoyden could stop the looming storm…

As early rains flood the estate and the surrounding road, the house party, which was meant to last a week, is trapped, similarly to the hearts of Cameron and Celia. While he is mesmerised by her authentic grace and poise, she slowly lowers her walls to meet his kind soul. However, jealous gazes and ruthless schemes threaten to destroy any potential romance between them. Will the two soulmates fight against the ton’s deceit? Or will their unique connection be drowned in a world of rules and necessities?

“A Proud Duke for the Dashing Hoyden” is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
