After two years, Lucien is still adjusting to his new title of the Duke of Blakewell, after the passing of his father. He has acquired the new title and everything that comes with it–including Miss Henrietta Tweed. With no previous knowledge of this enchanting young lady, Lucien is shocked to find her at his door and claiming that, at nineteen, she is his new ward. Being behind on his correspondence, Lucien was unaware that Miss Tweed would be his new responsibility. How could he possibly handle this, especially when he is finding himself extremely attracted to her?!

Headstrong and determined, Henrietta must convince the Duke to let her take control of her inheritance so she will not be in need of a guardian. Obviously, it is for the Duke’s own good. With her as his ward, he is in grave danger. Not from Henrietta, but from the curse she is convinced has followed her since the death of her parents twelve years ago. Every guardian she has ever had has met an early death, seemingly by accident. Henrietta is determined to free herself from this curse without losing yet another guardian.

Lucien, finding it harder and harder to stay away from the intoxicating Miss Tweed, comes to the conclusion that the best thing for both of them is to marry her off as soon as possible. But with his burgeoning feelings for her, it’s going to be difficult to let her go, especially to any of the so-called suitors that keep showing up at his door.

Amelia Grey’s A Duke To Die for is a charming historical romance that keeps the reader enthralled and unable to stop reading. Henrietta and Lucien are two amazingly detailed and wonderful characters that one can’t help but fall for. Along with great supporting characters, this book is funny, seductive, and a great light read. I can’t wait for more from Ms. Grey!

Armchair Interviews agrees.
