She dreamed of a passionate fairy-tale love. He needed a proper duchess—not a woman who could steal his heart. In this steamy marriage of convenience Victorian historical romance, a grumpy duke and the unconventional heroine who transforms his properly ordered life must risk everything for a love neither expected. #1 Bestselling Historical Romance Winner of the Maggie Award for Excellence When fate throws Fancy Sheridan , a tinker’s daughter with dreams of romance and adventure, into the arms of Severin Knight , the powerful Duke of Knighton, neither of them is prepared for the consequences. Fancy finds herself wed to a reserved nobleman who promises his protection but not his heart—while Knighton discovers his new duchess is nothing like the high-born lady he intended to marry. Knighton needs a duchess who can command society and gain acceptance for his unruly half-siblings. Instead, he finds himself captivated by a spirited wife who knows nothing of drawing room rules. As Fancy struggles to master her new role and Knighton fights the growing desire he cannot control, their inconvenient marriage begins to transform into something far more dangerous—and far more irresistible. But when secrets from their pasts rise to threaten their fragile happiness, Fancy and Knighton must decide whether to protect themselves from heartbreak—or risk everything for the love they never expected to find.

Five star fairy tale of a book! Best book of the series. That's saying something because these books are always fantastic. This book checked off so many boxes on my catnip list: grumpy, brooding hero; poor, but sweet heroine; mystery to solve (something that makes Grace's books standout from the rest); HOT!! I also loved the My Fair Lady aspects of the book. Great ending to a fabulous series!" -Nancy, Goodreads " Fairy tale meets Eliza Doolittle . Grace Callaway saves the best Duke book for the end of the series. It was hot, steamy and warm hearted. Fancy and Knight were strong characters. Their relationship started as a marriage of convenience and their lust for each other was off the charts. They had their differences but both were supportive of the other and they overcame obstacles together. The chemistry was reminiscent of the characters from the Heart of Enquiry series and made the book hard to put down . I love how the author always uses characters from previous books as sub characters so you can continue to see into their lives and families. Excellent book to end the Duke series." -Stacy, Goodreads Praise for the Game of Dukes series "You know when a book is so good that you are still reading it at 2 am....This book had it all: drama, laughter, and a few tears as well. The chemistry...just sizzled off the pages ....If I could I would give this book ten stars, but I'm only allowed to give 5/5 stars." -Boonies 123 Book Review on The Duke Identity "I'm still ugly crying AF !! I am so in love with Adam and Gabby...My heart hurt for all the things Adam went through... and I cheered for Gabby as she emerged from her safe shell." -Estela Reads Romance on Regarding the Duke "I LOVED this book! It took me back to a Johanna Lindsey novel. What a fantastic idea to turn the Regency genre on its head and do an "underworld" take on it. Talk about original!" -Judge on The Duke Identity , winner of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery & Suspense "I adored this book , it's one that gave me a fuzzy feeling of hope inside, showing that through all adversity, you can get where you want to be." - Maggie, Goodreads on Enter the Duke "If you like regency romance with a thin but dark thread of mystery, a dominant, tortured, but so damn sweet hero, and a leading lady who discovers who she is and what she wants , grab this one ASAP." -Biscuits & Bodices on Regarding the Duke "A highly charged story with great characters that will take you through on an adventure and back ag
