Summary

"The Duke's Sweetheart: A Romance" by Richard Dowling is a tale set in the late 1800s that centers on Charles Augustus Cheyne, a man everyone calls "Duke" even though he doesn't have any land or fancy family connections, but he has a great imagination and a big heart. Living a simple life writing stories in Fleet Street, he finds himself falling for Marion Durrant, and the story follows their romance as they try to make it work despite what everyone expects from them. The story kicks off with Cheyne, who's different from everyone else, getting ready to tell Marion how he really feels about her in Hyde Park, and all their joking around hints at how close they are. The book suggests there will be challenges with love, chasing your dreams, and fitting into society as their relationship moves forward, promising a story full of mystery and strong emotions.
