His Second-Chance Duchess, Book 2 in The Darling Duchesses Series

Coming April 6, 2026 (Edwards and Williams)

Sweet-natured Georgina, Dowager Duchess of Tyneham, was blessed to fall in love twice, once with an impoverished clergyman who chose career over her and once to her late husband, the duke. Better to hide her broken heart behind good works and a well placed lace-edged handkerchief. That is, until the new duke appoints a vicar to the village church, and Georgie comes face to face with her former love.

Raised in a London orphanage and risen to his current position by the kindness of patrons, Hugh Caddington knew long ago he had little to offer the pretty Georgie. Now she's a duchess, with everything she might want at her fingertips. What's a poor country vicar to do except show her every kindness and courtesy even as their former love rekindles?

As a thief plagues the little village, loyalties are tested, but nothing stands in the way of the duke and his matchmaking servants. Can Hugh turn Georgie's mourning into dancing, at their own wedding?
