The Duke Proposes a Baby: A Spicy Regency Rom-com with Potions, Passion, and an Unlucky Husband (Terms & Conditions of a Regency Marriage Book 3)

Love is the best medicine… unless your wife accidentally poisons you first.Everett Cassian, Duke of Tolland, is trying very hard to be a good husband. He’s in love with his brilliant, unpredictable wife, Lady Clemency Pratt—an unapologetic inventor whose “domestic improvements” tend to end in mild combustion or mild poisoning.Domestic bliss has arrived at last, complete with candlelit kisses, marital harmony… and an experimental loaf of bread that nearly sends the Duke into cardiac arrest.But tranquility is fleeting when Clemency’s latest creations include nutritionally enhanced pastries, atmospheric smoke bombs, and a “liver tonic” that may or may not have knocked out a footman.As Everett suffers through meal after well-intentioned experiment, a strange pattern emerges: mysterious symptoms, erratic moods, and a rather disturbing fondness for lavender-smoke therapy. And not all of it is his.Clemency, ever the scientist, begins diagnosing them both with everything from seasonal melancholy to undiagnosed liver imbalance. Everett, ever the dutiful husband, drinks the tonics, smiles through the stomach cramps, and tries not to faint at public gatherings.But there’s one diagnosis neither of them has considered.And when it finally arrives—loud, dramatic, and possibly doubled—it will test everything they know about love, logic, and the limits of medicinal tea.The Duke Proposes a Baby is a laugh-out-loud Regency romantic comedy for fans of brilliant heroines, baffled husbands, and love stories complicated by unexpected symptoms (and mildly toxic elixirs).
