🌻 Arrogant duke

💛 Strong minded spinster

🌻 Scarred hero

Having sworn off love after two heartbreaks, Penelope finds herself at Lady Marigold's Matchmaking Service after a fiery exchange with the proud Duke during an archery competition.

Sebastian, the unyielding Duke with a penchant for competition and a need for an heir, discovers his views on marriage evolving when he encounters the bold and beautiful Penelope. What starts as a battle of words turns into a high-stakes wager as Penelope challenges Sebastian to a duel of the sexes – a series of intellectual and athletic contests with a tempting prize. If she wins, she secures her spinsterhood; if he triumphs, she must become his bride and bear the much-needed heir.

As the games unfold, Sebastian's rigid beliefs about women's abilities begin to crumble, replaced by a growing admiration for Penelope's spirit. Simultaneously, Penelope finds herself drawn to the Duke she once despised, yet fears the vulnerability of a third heartbreak. Will this clash of pride and passion lead to a happily-ever-after where love conquers all, or will the intricacies of the heart prove the ultimate challenge?

Get ready for a riveting tale of love, competition, and unexpected alliances in How the Duke Was Won, book 3 in this sweet Regency romance series by USA Today Bestselling author Jennifer Monroe, where the battleground is set, and the prize is nothing short of an unexpected romance.
