The Duke’s Alliance is a six-book Regency romance series running from 2016 to 2018. Where Fenella J. Miller’s Duke series focused on individual pairings in relative isolation, The Duke’s Alliance builds more explicitly on recurring characters and an interconnected social world. Each book has its own couple and resolution, but characters from earlier books reappear and the community grows with each instalment.
The series opens with A Suitable Bride and A Dangerous Husband, both published in 2016, establishing the central circle of characters. An Unconventional Bride and An Accommodating Husband followed in 2017, and the series concluded in 2018 with A Soldier’s Bride / A Rebellious Bride and The Duke’s Bride.
The titles signal the social mechanics at the heart of each story: questions of what makes a bride or husband suitable, what counts as conventional, and how military service or ducal obligation complicates romantic ambition. Miller moves through the series at her usual brisk pace, with each book working as a standalone story while rewarding readers who follow the series from the start.
