Description
Miss Isabella Fairchild has been an outcast since childhood, mute from a tragedy she cannot forget. Now considered one of England's best painters, she travels the country with her aunt, painting commissions and restoring artwork for wealthy patrons. At Blackwood Castle, she meets the reclusive, deaf Duke. Captivated by his resilience, she yearns to break through the silence that separates them.
Nathaniel Hawke, Duke of Blackwood, is alone with the ghosts of everything he's lost; his troops on the battlefield, his father and older brother, and his hearing. When Isabella arrives to restore his family's mural, her quiet strength stirs something in him. Against his better judgment, he finds himself drawn to the mute artist who sees beyond his walls...
As Isabella and Nathaniel connect through gestures and writing, a fragile love begins to bloom. But just as they begin to overcome their insecurities and admit their feelings for one another, shadows from Nathaniel's past threaten their bond. To be the man Isabella deserves, he must confront his demons -- before they tear him away from the woman who's taught him to hope again.
"A Silent Lady for the Brooding Duke" is a historical romance novel of approximately 60,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
