THE DUKE WHO COUNTS THE COST

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

An original Regency romance audiobook written by Arianna Wynter.

Book One of The Sovereign Pact Series.

When Corinna Hale, a widowed woman on the brink of financial ruin, discovers a costly discrepancy in a powerful investment consortium, she does the unthinkable—she walks into a private meeting of four dukes and tells them they are being robbed.

The most dangerous of them all listens.

The Duke of Marrowick is a man who governs by numbers, discipline, and control. Reputation is currency. Emotion is liability. Every decision is weighed, calculated, and accounted for. Until Corinna’s ruthless competence exposes a theft no one else detected—and makes her impossible to dismiss.

Bound together by secrecy, scrutiny, and an investigation that threatens powerful interests, Corinna and the duke are forced into close collaboration. What begins as a strictly professional alliance becomes something far more dangerous: mutual reliance.

Because the duke who counts every cost never planned for the one thing he cannot quantify.

THE DUKE WHO COUNTS THE COST is a slow-burn Regency romance featuring:


- Power dynamics rooted in intellect, not dominance
- A highly competent heroine in a man’s world
- Financial intrigue and aristocratic politics
- Forced proximity without scandal-driven melodrama
- Emotional restraint that sharpens every moment of tension

This audiobook is ideal for listeners who enjoy intelligent historical romance, controlled heroes, and relationships built on respect, pressure, and inevitability.
