Lydia Drake’s Debut Novel, ‘Cinderella and the Duke,’ Coming Winter 2022 [COVER REVEAL]

We love a great fairytale. In debut author Lydia Drake’s forthcoming novel, she breathes new life into one of our favorite classics—Cinderella—with a heady mix of royalty, romance, and a dash of Jane Austen.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one has plenty to say. The cover is gorgeous! Not too shabby for Drake’s first book. That gown alone is spectacular. From what we can see, Cinderella’s fairy godmother has become one heck of a seamstress! And don’t even get us started on how hunky the duke is. Maybe Prince Charming should have had a gym installed at the palace because it appears that Cindy has traded up! But we do wonder what became of his shirt. Maybe the royal valet didn’t make it into work this morning. All joking aside, this is a cover that begs readers to pick up a copy of this book at their favorite bookstore.

We could go on all day long, making guesses about the plot of this book. But the truth is, the only hints being teased so far indicate that Cinderella and the Duke is the first book in a new Regency period series blending the fairytale premise with elements of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. And as the cover indicates, this duke has charms of his own.

Be one of the first to read this enchanting book when it lands on store shelves on December 27. It will undoubtedly be the perfect story to read over the holiday break. If you want to start reading as soon as it is released, use the links below to pre-order your copy today!
