Bewitching the Duke by Christie Kelley is the 1st in her Bewitching series of f/m Regency historical romances apparently toying with a witchcraft theme but no actual overt magic, if the reviews are accurate, this one starring a traditional healer of the sort which used to be known as a wise woman, and the distrustful duke who blames the death of his wife in childbirth on her healer family, who have provided midwifery and other services for the village on his estate for generations, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Kensington's eKensington imprint.

Description
Only Her Desire. . .
After losing his wife in childbirth, Colin Barrett, Duke of Northrop, does not trust healers. So when he discovers Selina White cleansing his home, he is livid. As duke, Colin is accustomed to his charges taking orders from him. But the fiery Selina has the audacity to defy him when he asks her to leave his lands. More infuriating, he cannot stop thinking about the seductive sway of her hips when she walks.
Can Heal His Heart. . .
The sick tenants of Northrop Park depend on Selina, and she's not about to let a man tell her she must leave her village--even if he is a duke. And while Selina does not fear Colin's temper, she is afraid of the secrets she keeps from him and of the desire he sets off in her every time he is near.
