Today, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York has announced a brand-new series of the Duchess of York Historical Book Club! Read on for a letter to readers from the Duchess and to find out more about the Book Club…

Dear Readers,  

After the resounding success of last year’s Duchess of York Historical Book Club, I am beyond delighted to be bringing you a brand-new series for 2023! 

Featured in this year’s series are a range of authors whose historical romance novels are breaking new ground in the genre, be it through unconventional storytelling, representing marginalised voices in compelling and nuanced ways, or telling compelling tales of love against the odds. 

From Emma Denny’s extraordinary medieval queer romance of two men choosing between duty and love; to Vanessa Riley’s astonishing epic saga of the first Queen of Haiti, who was exiled to Europe after the death of Henry I and spent her life forging a new path for herself, her children and her country: there is a romance for every reader here. 

After receiving such wonderful feedback from readers, our chosen books from the Mills & Boon Historical Series are from authors including Laura Martin, Melissa Oliver and Virginia Heath. Prepare to be whisked away to the world of fake engagements, opposites attract and a battle to save the crown!  

Please do join me for this new series of the Historical Book Club. I have had the most wonderful time putting together the selections, and I can’t wait to dive in with you every month as we take this romance reading journey together.  

You can find more information about the schedule in the image, or on the Mills & Boon website. You can also stay up to date on the Book Club via my Instagram and Facebook pages, and the Mills & Boon Instagram and Facebook pages. I look forward to reading your comments and hearing what you think of the Book Club picks! 

Our first pick for February is One Night in Hartswood by Emma Denny – so get reading, and I will see you at the end of February for my review!  

Happy reading, and speak soon,  

Sarah, Duchess of York
