About this ebook
His body may be weak, but his dreams know no bounds. Will she be the answer to his prayers?
England, 1864. Lord Felix Peergrave's inheritance leaves him with little to celebrate. With his medical condition keeping him captive in his palatial home, what the twenty-one-year-old noble craves more than money is a bride. And while he's smitten by a visiting beauty, he hardly notices the comely wallflower standing by her side.
Honour Seaborn is resigned to her dependency. Destitute and at the mercy of family after her soldier father's death, she agrees to play chaperone for her pretty cousin. And though she's captivated by the nobleman besotted with her vain relative, she knows her penniless status robs her of any place in his heart.
As Lord Felix discovers the real character of the belle and turns his attention to her demure escort, he fears being housebound would bore the well-travelled orphan. And believing she will never be a good match, Honour can't imagine him ever reciprocating her growing feelings.
Will the courteous couple take a chance on the grandest of loves?
The Duke's Heart is a light Victorian romance. If you like unique leading men, strong and determined women, and slow-build relationships, then you'll adore Marina Pacheco's delightful courtship.

I am a travelling author who currently lives in Lisbon, after stints in London, Johannesburg, and Bangkok. My ambition is to publish 100 books. It’s a challenge I decided upon after I’d completed my 33rd book. Or I should say, my 33rd first draft. I am currently working at getting all of those first drafts into a publishable state. This is taking considerably longer than I’d anticipated! Especially as I keep getting distracted by ideas for yet more books. I am an introvert and I think that makes me quite sensitive to overstimulation. I find rollercoaster, action-packed blockbusters too stressful to read. This probably influences my writing which reviewers have described as gentle. I might describe what I write as easy reading or slow fiction. They are the kind of books that are perfect to curl up with on the sofa on a rainy day or take to the park to read under a tree. They are feel-good stories where good triumphs over evil and the girl gets the boy with some bumps along the way.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Normally, the male love interest in a romance novel looks like superman. He is tall, muscular, etc, etc. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is a noticable lack of variety. I really like this story, because it has someone who is different but still undeniably cool.
