For fans of Ella Quinn, Amelia Grey, and Bridgerton comes the first in a new historical romance series with all your favorite tropes:
The new Duke has a proper scandal brewing.
Quinton Errington is perfectly happy teaching at Cambridge, with his elder brother carrying the duties of being the Duke of Wesley. But when a trip to celebrate Wesley’s last week of bachelorhood ends in tragedy, Quinton, who becomes the Duke, would give anything to have his brother back.
Wesley’s would-be bride, Catherine Greatheart, is left heartbroken and alone. Her grandmother has fallen ill, and Catherine has nowhere left to turn but to the family she was so close to being part of. The new Duke is kind, and she could use a friend.
Between learning how to be the head of his family, mourning his brother, and trying not to fall in love with his late-brother’s fiancée, Quinton will need some help—and it’s a good thing he’s not alone.

Summary
Fortune Favors the Duke by Kristin Vayden was a fun enjoyable read. I liked both of the characters in addition to the grandma and the Duke’s mom.
Quinton was content with his second brother status and teaching at Cambridge. Then his brother passes away and he becomes the Duke.
Catherine was engaged to the Duke and is sad when he passes. Although not a love match they were friends and cared about each other. Catherine and Quin share the loss of his brother and he accepts responsibility for her. It was sweet how they started developing feelings for each other.
I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between Catherine and her grandmother.
This was a clean historical romance. I didnt realize it will be a series of the second brothers that took the places of their older brothers that passed away.
