The Baby on the Duke’s Doorstep: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Where Dukes Dare and Ladies Love)

Thelma Preston arrives at Langley with a single purpose: to reclaim her niece and disappear before anyone notices. She never intended to step into the Duke’s home and deceive him, nor did she expect to encounter a man whose quiet strength and gentle kindness would unsettle her carefully guarded resolve. What begins as a seemingly harmless deception soon becomes a delicate dance of proximity, trust, and an unexpected bond she never saw coming.

Roman Berengar, Duke of Langley, has endured grief, duty, and a life shaped by expectations he never chose. But when a basket appears on his doorstep containing an eleven-month-old baby with strikingly familiar eyes, everything changes. The arrival of a new nursemaid is meant to bring stability to his household. Instead, the ethereal young woman who enters his home becomes a mystery he cannot resist unraveling.

As secrets surrounding the child’s bloodline and long-buried promises between two families begin to surface, the fragile peace Roman and Thelma have found threatens to unravel. Soon they must decide what truly matters: a title, an estate, and the obligations of duty, or the people they have chosen to love and protect. Can two guarded hearts find lasting happiness amid deception, devotion, and the quiet miracles of family?
