A woman’s heart dares to defy the rules of Victorian society in USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe’s novel of romance, royalty, and a little revenge. In Kent, England, the arrival of Beranger Northcott, Duke of Brightshire, causes a stir. Because with the duke comes his new American bride, who isn’t quite what anyone expects. By accepting the hand of her beloved, Emma Brinkman went from hardworking Colorado rancher to duchess. Now she’s expected to comport herself as nobility. Overnight . For Emma―stifled, homesick, and unable to shake the feeling she’s being watched―the metamorphosis is a challenge. And if Emma’s suspicions are correct, perhaps even a dangerous one. Fortunately, Emma has found a trusted friend in the orphaned Charlotte, Brightshire’s scullery maid. Charlotte longs to experience―if only for a moment―the luxuries and gentry romance that come with a titled life. When one of the duke’s handsome cousins takes notice of Charlotte, the castle kitchen is set abuzz with speculation. In navigating their two different stations, both servant and duchess alike will discover all they have in common―from secret fantasies to daring hearts to upending the rules of society. And that finding their places in the world― and love ―is a dream that can come true―no matter the risks. “ An American Duchess is a gorgeous novel featuring a delightful cast of upstairs and downstairs characters, rich historical detail, and an absorbing tale that will keep the pages turning until the very end.” ―Mary Ellen Taylor, author of Amazon Charts bestseller Winter Cottage “Caroline Fyffe weaves a masterful tale…so vivid in its prose and storytelling, readers will be left breathless.
