5 Dukes to Die For
Why did the damsel fall for the Duke? Well, aside from being dashing, a little dangerous, and sometimes daring enough to make our hearts race—Dukes have a long history in romance novels. Dukes can toe the line between right and wrong, but their goodness always wins out in the end. Here are five of them you’ll dream about once you read their stories:
The Duke of Dark Desires, by Miranda Neville
Julian Fortescue has inherited a dukedom, and with it, the responsibility of three half-sisters. So when he hires a governess for them, he decides it’s also his responsibility to take her to bed. But Jane has no intention of being the Duke of Denford’s mistress…especially when she is there under false pretenses, and a false name. While she plots revenge against the Duke’s family for a dark secret, she finds herself falling for her target.

Romancing the Duke (Castles Ever After #1), by Tessa Dare
When the penniless daughter of an author inherits a castle, she believes the tide of her life is about to turn. But Izzy Goodnight was not expecting to find Ransom, the Duke of Rothbur, still occupying the castle. Ransom has been wounded, physically and emotionally, and it is up to Izzy to bring him back to life. A heartwarming romance with just the right amount of sizzle.
Duke of Sin (Maiden Lane #10), by Elizabeth Hoyt
This Duke has danger and desire in equal amounts: Valentine Napier, a notorious blackmailer in exile, who has returned to London to exact vengeance on his enemies. But then he meets Bridget Crumb, a bastard daughter to an aristocrat, who becomes tied up in the Duke’s affairs in order to protect her own interests. You can hate the sin, but you’ll love the sinner in this romance novel.
The Duchess War (Brother’s Sinister #1), by Courtney Milan
Courtney Milan writes some of the best regency romances, and this one is no exception—Robert Blaisdell is a Duke to be remembered. He is a flawed man with secrets from his past, but eventually, he falls for wallflower Minnie Lane—a girl who tries to stay out of the spotlight, but can’t hide how bright she shines.

Flowers from the Storm, by Laura Kinsale
This is one of the most beautiful romances I’ve ever read, and Kinsale’s hero Christian, the Duke of Jeveraux, is the reason why. After suffering a stroke (which some believe is punishment for his rakish behavior), the Duke has lost his ability to communicate. Maddy Timms is volunteering in his recovery center, and believes that she can help him regain his faculties. If you love romances where wounds thaw as romance blooms, this novel will keep you warm as the weather changes.
