Books like While the Duke was sleeping by Sophie Jordan
Poppy Fairchurch, a shop girl in Regency England, dreams of the Duke of Autenberry but knows it would be impossible. When an overturned carriage threatens the duke, she pulls him to safety, and his sudden coma leaves her mistaken for his fiancée. The duke’s haughty half‑brother, Struan Mackenzie, a wealthy illegitimate second son, disbelieves the ruse and sees Poppy as a liar. Struan, despite his riches, feels an outsider in aristocratic society, yet he is drawn to Poppy’s fierce spirit. As the duke recovers, Poppy must choose between the fantasy of a noble romance and the reality of a smoldering Scottish noble who challenges her heart.
