"A marriage of convenience becomes something more..."

Fresh Fiction Review

Yours Truly, The Duke
Amelia Grey

Romance Historical

Wyatt, Duke of Wyatthaven, has just received the news that he needs to marry to keep an inheritance from his grandmother. Wyatt is about to find that his life just won’t be the same. Fredericka Hale is the guardian to her two nieces and nephew. but her guardianship is being threatened by a family member and having a husband would help make her case. Fredericka and Wyatt may find that a marriage of convenience might lead them to love. Amelia Grey starts her new regency-era marriage of convenience story, with the book YOURS TRULY, THE DUKE. 

The first book in the Say I Do series by Amelia Grey, YOURS TRULY, THE DUKE follows two people who need to marry to solve their individual problems. A marriage of convenience may become more when desire develops. But as they get to know each other, feelings and love grow between Wyatt and Fredericka, and their initial assumptions are proven wrong. Opposites attract in YOURS TRULY, THE DUKE, and happiness rains as two people work their way to love. Amelia Grey takes a common regency romance theme and spices it up with two people who don’t want to fall in love or change their lives but are forced to when something threatens their ways of life. This reader loved reading about how knowing each other changes the main characters' lives and the precocious children keep them on their toes. That perfect isn’t always the best and there’s always time for some fun. I can't wait to find out which duke gets his story next!

SUMMARY

Yours Truly, The Duke is the first novel in the historical romance Say I Do trilogy about dukes needing to wed to tap into their wealth by New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey.

Fredericka Hale needs a husband, and fast. She’s been caring for her deceased sister’s three young children, and now a childless cousin has petitioned the court for custody. Fredericka is powerless to stop her, but having a husband might sway the ruling. The last thing Fredericka wants is a hurried-up marriage to a man she doesn’t know—much less love, but she’ll do it for the children. So when the handsome Duke of Wyatthaven shows up with a proposal, she accepts. He'll help her, and in return, they’ll lead separate lives. But distance cannot keep them from their powerful attraction.

At the top of his game in London, the Duke of Wyatthaven has no interest in marriage. However, if Wyatt doesn’t marry by week’s end, he’ll lose a sizable inheritance from his grandmother. When Wyatt’s solicitor finds Miss Fredericka Hale, Wyatt considers this little hiccup solved. Miss Hale is lovely, and intelligent. Most importantly, she prefers country life to London, so he’s free to continue his life as usual. But when circumstances force Fredericka and the children to show up at the duke’s door, Wyatt can’t deny he’s always been under her spell. Will the duke give up his bachelor lifestyle and give into the fiery passion growing between them?
