A Year Without a Duke. The duke has died. Long live the duke! The only problem is no one knows who the new Duke of Beckworth is. All of England wonders, but no one more so than the people who depend upon Beckworth for their livelihood. In 1816, a year so cold that the word "summer" is a cruel joke, that livelihood is even more uncertain. However, they are all about to find out, with the duke away, there is nothing more warming than scandal and love...A Duke By December. Elizabeth Smith is secretly in love with the tall, handsome golden-haired man who rescued her from Arkansas Territory and offered her a new life. Unfortunately, she knows he'll never see her as anything more than his secretary. Nathaniel Hughes has spent the majority of his life in America amassing his fortune. When he discovers he is the next Duke of Beckworth, he must reluctantly travel to England, face down his past, and rehabilitate an estate to save those who live on it. But every duke requires a duchess and an heir. He'll figure this out somehow with Lizzie, his loyal and capable secretary, at his side. Once at Beckworth, he finds it increasingly difficult to deny a powerful attraction to the woman he has vowed to protect-even from himself. Can he find the strength to choose duty over desire?

Best of the 5 books. This series uses the idea of a missing Ducal heir as the premise for what happens to various people who worked for the Duke and are waiting to find out what will happens if the ever find an heir for the title.
In this final book the Duke has been found - not someone who has been raised in the peerage but a man who had been raised with titled friends but always the poor friend. He had moved to America to find his fortune and has become rich and powerful. Now he is coming back to England to become one of the people who looked down his nose at people like his younger self.
This story checks in one more time on all the people who have found love in the previous 4 books and now it is the Duke's turn. Not to find love with a woman of his own new class but to love the woman he had managed to save in the Arkansas Territory and who he had brought to England with him.
Thesse books are all quick reads and a fun story. ( )

It's bittersweet to know that the end is near and the answers sought in the previous four books will be revealed. Duke by December is the stunning conclusion to the Year Without A Duke saga and Sabrina Darby gets to do the big reveal. However before that happens there is one more love story to appease this sad goodbye. Nathan is a man that has made his own way and amassed his own money far away from England's influence. His experiences in America have brought him success and have given him an adventurous spirit and the courage to endure anything. Lizzie has been friend, employee and secretly pining for Nathan for a long time. A surprising development sends the two to England and their lives may never be the same. A fitting conclusion to a whirlwind series. ( )

This novella wraps up the series and provides the Duke of Beckworth that everyone has been waiting for. Nathaniel Hughes is a self-made man who has built his holding and wealth in the New World after leaving England over a decade previously. On one of his trips he defends Elizabeth and her brother John from their overbearing uncle then takes them under his wing. Not much is said about the year they spend together in New York as the story picks up again with all three in London. From there they move to the estate and settle into a new way of life. How Nathaniel and Lizzie will manage their happily ever after is the question. Will Nathaniel be able to see Lizzie as a woman and not a girl he is protecting? Will he do what is required of a Duke – provide heirs for his estate? Will he find happiness as a duke?

The book was well written and fun to read. I enjoyed it. I liked the other stories in the series a bit better so am reflecting that in the 4 I am giving it.

Thank you to NetGalley and CrushStar Multimedia LLC for the copy of this ARC to read and review. ( )
