Following her parents’ tragic death, Lady Madeline D'Coursey is sent to live with her aunt and cousin, who treat her no better than a servant. After years of enduring their backbiting, Madeline finally has a chance to escape when she is allowed to debut... However, all her hopes are dashed when her aunt humiliates her in front of society’s finest nobility. Taking matters into her own hands, she decides to run away and work as a governess for a Duke. What she never expected though was for the Duke’s handsome brother to capture her heart…

Could Madeline dare to trust this man with the secret of her true identity?

Captain Graham Kent has just returned from seven long years at war with France. While he struggles to settle back into civilian life after losing so many friends in battle, he wonders if the jovial young man he used to be before the war is irreversibly gone. As if this wasn’t enough, he begins to crack under his brother’s pressure to marry the woman his father intended. How will everything unfold when his entire existence is captured by the beautiful and mysterious new governess?

Will he be able to break down the walls around her heart and earn her trust?

Madeline and Graham soon find their love growing despite Graham's vicious betrothed trying to tear them apart. However, when Madeline’s secret is revealed to the Duke, their future is in dire jeopardy. Will Graham and Madeline prove strong enough to go against their families and fight for their love? Or will duty and fear make their love an unattainable dream?

"Blooming into a Duchess" is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

5.0 out of 5 stars To love a governess
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022

I loved this wonderful historical romance book! It is a sad tale about a lady who’s parents pass when she is eight and is having to live with an aunt and cousin that don’t want her. She is treated like a servant in an unbearable environment. Once she becomes an adult she flees, and takes a job as a governess under false pretenses. She meets the Duke’s brother who is home from the war. Instant connection. There is drama, secrets, surprises, and malicious characters interfering with the couple’s happiness. The story really pulled at me emotionally. I loved the H and h characters, and also enjoyed all the characters residing in the manor that played key roles in the story. Well written. I received a complimentary ARC, but am voluntarily offering my personal opinion.
Side note: it truly needs an editor. Lots of errors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely love story with a happy ending

Reminded me of Cinderella but here we have an evil aunt and cousin sister. Madelyn, the daughter of an Earl becomes an orphan at the age of 8. Her wicked aunt takes her in so she can have control of her money. When the suffering becomes unbearable Madelyn runs away. She meets Graham and romance develops. Of course there has to be obstacles before a happy ending. It is a lovely story and the storyline is well developed. I would have given a much better rating if the book had been edited properly. There are too many mistakes to ignore.

How Madeline's Aunt could be so despicable I'll never understand. I'm so glad Madeline was able to break free and find true love even with a few bumps in the road.
