Perfect for you if...

  • You love Victorian-era romance with banter and genuine chemistry between well-matched characters.
  • You enjoy stories centred on small businesses and craftsmanship, especially when the setting is as vivid as the relationship.
  • You want historical romance that feels grounded in period detail without losing the warmth and humour.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer high-stakes drama or angst. This is a sweeter, lighter romance that prioritises enjoyment over emotional turbulence.

  • You want stories that challenge class boundaries harshly. This one ultimately embraces a happy crossing of social lines.

About this book

Rare Confectionery on New Bond Street is run by three talented sisters who craft confections known for their delicious taste and visual appeal. The Duke of Pelham seeks their help in creating an original chocolate to impress the Season's most beautiful lady. Amity, one of the chocolatiers, finds the duke unlike any previous customer. Despite his elevated social status, he proves to be friendly, funny, and engaging. As he enters the world of confectionery, the duke discovers that Amity herself is as delightful and tempting as her creations. While Amity designs the perfect proposal chocolate for his courtship, she begins to wish he could be hers instead. Set in Mayfair, this story follows Amity and the duke through a chocolate-filled romance complicated by the expectations and prejudices of high society. The novel features period detail, engaging characters, and heartfelt romance.
