About this ebook

Amidst Regency England's matchmaking frenzy, the charitable Lady Catherine Breckenridge and the charismatic Duke of Bedford enter a counterfeit romance, unraveling their convictions as they navigate the fine line between pretense and passion.


Lady Catherine Breckenridge has dedicated herself to charitable pursuits, shunning the allure of romance and marriage. Yet, her family has other plans. As Catherine edges toward her twenty-second year, her kin's determination for a timely union grows resolute. Unexpectedly, salvation arrives in the form of a well-known rogue, the Duke of Bedford.


Charles De Vere, the dashing Duke of Bedford, possesses both charm and fortune, entitling him as one of England's most eligible bachelors. Despite his unsavory reputation, he finds himself besieged by eager mothers and their marriageable daughters at every society gathering. However, this season, he unveils a masterful strategy.


When the Duke proposes a clandestine alliance to Lady Catherine, her pragmatic nature sees the wisdom in his scheme. While he may be a rogue, he's also a trusted confidant of her brother. Moreover, she remains steadfast in her conviction to resist any rogue's enchantments. Neither harbors matrimonial intentions, and their hearts bear no inclinations toward each other. Their plan appears impeccable—until fate casts an unexpected twist.


Indulge in a world of forbidden passions, strategic alliances, and a love that defies conventions.

I enjoyed this "Fated for a Rogue" story. It is a wayward dukes historical romance that is fairly short and quick. It is a brother's best friend story about a rogue who has a plan and lady who does not want to get married. Her family has other plans. I enjoyed the story and how it developed. Love the characters!

Ths is Catherine and Charles story. Neither wants to marry, so they plan to act like they are going to marry. Will it work? Will everyone believe the? What will happen in the end?. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This ninth book in the Wayward Dukes' Alliance is a beautifully written historical romance novella that tells of a farce courtship. I enjoyed the delightful way their so-called well thought out plan fell apart. I was very entertained that despite mutual agreement and determination to never marry, mutual attraction and a strong chemistry led to shocking feelings. I really liked the very helpful and adoring cousin who helps tip the scale. The ending was lovely. I highly recommend reading!
