Books like The Duke Can Go to the Devil by Erin Knightley
May Glover has been shipped from the life of a sea‑captain to the courtly streets of London after her mother's death. Living with her father's austere sister, she is swept up in the pomp of a Bath festival, an escape that quickly turns into a battleground of manners and romance. Across the great divide of class and custom, May’s carefree spirit clashes with William Spencer, the Duke of Radcliffe, whose entire life is governed by duty and decorum. Their meetings are tense yet irresistibly magnetic, as each begins to question whether love can survive such a chasm between worlds. Will the Duke’s rigid expectations allow room for May’s defiance, or will their worlds remain forever apart?
