The Grand Duke's Betrothed

A Man That Smells Like Flowers: Book 4

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

The warm conclusion to a polyamorous Regency romantasy.

As winter sets in on the mountain city of Remeh, Grand Duke Nie Wahnera and his five spouses begin their awaited courtship of Duke Alexei Cainov of Vaugia.

Though the surprise appearance of Queen Regina Vauge and Archbishop Mitrofan Stepenov—both intent on swaying Nie to their political faction in Vaugia—poses a new challenge during the cold months.

As the past threatens Nie's present, memories long sealed may be the key to the future he desires.

Content Warning: MC regains memories of his childhood, which includes: transphobia, attempted grooming, off-screen corrective SA of a minor, and parental emotional abuse. These are discussed by the MC and main cast.
