Sincerely, The Duke is the second novel in the historical romance Say I Do trilogy about dukes needing to wed to tap into their wealth by New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey.
Miss Edwina Fine has one shot at finding a husband before the ton learns her secret. With red hair, green eyes and being one of triplets, she knows the superstitions and rumors about women like her. So when a marriage proposal from the Duke of Stonerick arrives by mail, Edwina jumps at the chance to solve her problems. But nothing could prepare her for the attraction that sparks between them when they finally meet. It will take more than Edwina's wit to navigate her past, reservations about marriage and the passion that ignites within her for the irresistible duke.
Rick, Duke of Stonerick, enjoys his life exactly as it is: honing his expert marksmanship, playing cards and fencing with his friends. He even enjoys exchanging affectionate humor with his mother about his lack of matrimonial engagement. But when a recurring illness reminds Rick he has no heir, he picks a name from the list of prospects his mother presents and writes a simple marriage proposal. Then he forgets about it—until that very lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery shows up at his doorstep, ready to accept. Edwina tempts him like no other and suddenly, marriage doesn't seem much of an inconvenience after all. But will keeping his illness a secret cost him her love?

      Needing an heir, a duke picks a woman at random to be his bride, not knowing she has her own secret reasons for entering a marriage of convenience. Until now, Roderick "Rick" Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, has not prioritized getting married, despite his maman's wishes. However, recent recurring illnesses have made him aware of his own mortality, so, in a feverish haze, he selects a name from a list of suitable ladies and writes a brief proposal letter. Miss Edwina Fine recently traveled from York to London to find a husband, so she accepts the duke's odd proposal under the stipulation that he help find husbands for her two sisters before the end of the season, per her father's last wishes. She doesn't reveal that the trio are triplets. Because of their unique birth as well as their red hair and green eyes, their father hid them away, afraid that society would shun them as oddities. Rick and Edwina feel instant attraction, but their secrets and fears stand in the way of their developing love. This breezy, low-stakes historical romance has a fun setup but becomes repetitive as it goes along. Rick and Edwina are likable and realistically flawed, but their stubbornness--particularly Edwina's insistence on finding husbands for her uninterested sisters--becomes laborious and starts to strain credulity. While the core story is appealing and the couple makes a charming pair, there's too much padding and extended conflict, seemingly just to fill the page count. A pleasant love story that becomes overly drawn out.
