Maid For Daddies

Maid For Daddies

“So… she’s the new Doll.” I chuckled. “She owes us. A lot of money.” Duchess let her gaze drift in the direction Billie had gone, almost wistful. “She’s beautiful, though. That fragile, innocent kind you three seem to crave.” Her voice dropped. “Does she know what all three of you will do to her once the year ends? She—” “We’re at a wake, Duchess,” I cut her off. “Don’t make me discipline you right here in front of everyone for running your mouth. Stay the fück away from Billie. I don’t want to see you near her ever again.”

Mismatched

Mismatched

The duchess explained and Alice felt the bile in her stomach rising. She is no goods that will be sold that way and even if it is that way, she deserves to be given a choice too. Who knows if she might not like the prince who would pick her, then what would have happened? And the only way for her to find out is by asking. “What if I don’t like the prince that chooses me?” her face held no emotions as she asked the question, just as her grandmother. “Then you have no choice but to do as I want. I won’t let you go away like your father did. He left me all alone and you were a month old.” The duchess rambled on and on about how her only martins left her.

BRINGING MY WIFE BACK

BRINGING MY WIFE BACK

"Isn’t that what makes sense, Duke? Most noblewomen care only for finery, attention, or flattery... but this Duchess? She identifies what even some of our top officials overlook. Of course she’s different—she’s not Baron Galina’s real daughter." "That’s one thing," Saihan added, "but couldn’t that also be a warning sign? She’s no ordinary woman. She understands military tactics. She reads Aldor’s political currents. The real question is—who exactly are we dealing with?" A heavy silence settled over the room. Hugh’s grip on the letter tightened. Was the Duchess a trusted ally—or merely another pawn in a far greater game? The question remained unanswered. But one thing was certain—they could n

The Duke Who's Devilish

The Duke Who's Devilish

the duchess said as Jessie smiled at her. “Thank you, duchess,” she replied before the duchess smiled at her. “Just call me Becca,” the duchess said before they went to the divan and took their seats as they were waiting for the butler to come and serve the tea and scones for them.

Second chance at happiness

Second chance at happiness

Having the Ambertons as allies not only meant adding a powerful ally but was also a restraining force on the king. Mira took a deep breath and lifted her head, with an expression that said that she was going to go all out; She looked squarely at the naïve duchess and spoke word for word “If the duchess promised us protection previously thinking that she can fall back on the Ambertons, then we will not oblige. I would rather be poor and alive than rich and dead.”

Devil's Heart

Devil's Heart

As far as he knew, the women of England did not go around dressed in trousers and boots, not to talk of being drunk. Monica frowned and swallowed, returning her gaze to her path. The lane seemed to dance erratically and divide into three, "Foolish English. You all think you are so smart. When I get my duchy back, you'll see." She stopped walking and stared into darkness, her eyes shutting slowly and tiredly, just before she surrendered to the arms of unconsciousness. *** "I know he will be as good as father," Anna Forland said to the duchess as they stared down at Philip through the window.

The Rogue King

John gasped, “You’re a—" “Scared, Whitcomb?” Nicole asked as the duchess got to her feet, hissing, and screeching. “I don’t care if you were the queen reborn! Out of my way, Nicole!” She screeched, “I was promised his head!” “Let me send you to the afterlife,” Nicole said, “I promise to send your husband soon after!” The duchess screeched. Her usually beautiful face twisted with fury as she lunged at Nicole.

A Lycan's Tears

Oh well, I’m pretty shocked. “Darius?” Rachelle raised an eyebrow. It seemed like she couldn’t believe what he just said. “What? She’s right. She’s a duchess, Rachelle. It would be best if you respected her,” he seriously said. Rachelle placed her knife and fork on her plate before rising from her seat. She glared at me, “This is absurd. How could you take her side? I’m your fiancée, for crying out loud!”

Juliet's Marriage Request

Juliet's Marriage Request

I explained. Hindi ko alam kung paniniwalaan nila ako. Well, I made sure to be direct para hindi na gaanong mahaba ang usapan. Gusto ko na din ipagpatuloy ang pagpapahinga ko. Damn, my peace of mind. "By pledging loyalty, you mean marriage?" the duchess asked. "Well, uh... Kind of?" Duchess Jubelline let out a deep breath while Duke William seems to be processing everything I've said to make a decision.

Queen of Hearts

Queen of Hearts

She answered bluntly, making Jace tense from where he was sitting. "Alone? Against a whole mafia?" Jace asked with a tone of disbelief as Bella nodded back in response. Jace's concern was acceptable. A single assassin against thousands of mafia members? While that seemed impossible, Isabella knew of her capability. Though she might not be able to take on against thousands, she might just be able to stand a chance against the leader. Why catch the small fishes when you can catch the big one instead? "Not necessarily the whole mafia. I'll go after the Don, that way they will lose before they would even find out about it."

Frequently Asked Questions

The heart of 'Any Duchess Will Do' belongs to Griffyn Aubrey, an unconventional duke with a sharp wit and a reluctant sense of duty. What I adore about him is how Tessa Dare flips the typical historical romance script—Griff isn’t just another brooding aristocrat; he’s got this playful exasperation, especially when his meddling mother forces him to 'train' a barmaid, Pauline Simms, as duchess material. Pauline’s the real standout, though! She’s all fiery resilience and street-smart charm, completely unimpressed by high society’s nonsense. Their banter crackles with chemistry, and watching her dismantle Griff’s pretensions while he falls hopelessly for her is pure joy.

Dare’s genius lies in how she layers their dynamic. Pauline isn’t some Cinderella archetype; she’s pragmatic, flawed, and hilariously blunt about class disparities. Griff’s journey from 'this is ridiculous' to 'I would burn London for her' feels earned because Pauline challenges him at every turn. The book’s secondary characters—like Griff’s scheming mother—add delightful chaos. If you love historicals where the heroine’s grit steals the show, Pauline’s your girl!
