He doesn’t know his name.
He doesn’t know why he’s here.
But he knows her.
Waking up in an unfamiliar place, battered and bruised, the man once known as the heir to the Duke of Lovington has no memory of who he is or the life he left behind. Yet, in the gentle hands of the woman tending to him, he feels a pull—something deep, something important. She tells him he is safe. But she won’t tell him everything.
Daisy Montgomery never expected fate to bring him back into her life—not like this. The boy she once loved is now a man with no recollection of the past that tore them apart. And as she nurses him back to health, she knows it’s only a matter of time before he remembers. Before the truth unravels. Before she loses him all over again.
But what if, just this once, love could rewrite the past?
Sweet Duke of Mine was originally published in 2023 as part of the I Like Big Dukes anthology. Now, escape to another world with this enhanced edition, a full-length standalone novel brimming with swoon-worthy romance, longing, and a love too powerful to be forgotten.
Sweet Duke of Mine is a steamy romance set during the early 1800’s. This author used the friends to lovers trope very well. I enjoyed the book but I did find some errors that should have been caught in editing. I liked Daisy the heroine. She is from a different class than the hero. Alistair is the duke’s son and the heir apparent. He forms a friendship with young Daisy which grows into more. But life is cruel and the two are forced apart. So the trope becomes a second chance romance. I liked the way this author wraps everything up and there were a few twists and turns that I didn’t expect. I once thought that these romances between a duke and a milkmaid were unrealistic, and then I came across the true story of Lord Harry Fetherstonhaugh. Lord Fetherstonhaugh lived in the early 1800’s and even entertained the Prince Regent. The story goes that at 70 years of age Harry heard a milkmaid on his estate singing and was instantly smitten. They married and when he died he left her everything. I was given a copy of this book.
