Books like The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn
Jack Audley, once a highwayman and soldier, lives a carefree rogue existence until a revelation declares him the long‑lost son of the House of Wyndham. Suddenly he faces the responsibilities of peerage and the welfare of many. Grace Eversleigh has spent five years serving as companion to the dowager Duchess of Wyndham in a thankless role. Their paths collide when Jack arrives, bringing rakish charm and a romance that Grace cannot refuse. Yet if Jack’s claim is legitimate, the title of Duke of Wyndham—an honor he never sought—places him beyond Grace’s reach, creating a tension between love and duty.
