The Billionaire Duke by Gina Robinson
I gave up at 43%.
The writing was pretty engaging. The conflict logistics made little sense.
Haley is taking care of a sick sister, who needs access to medical care that non-rich people can't gain. Riggins, the billionaire in question, could lose his business through corporate sabotage. All this orchestrated by a Dead Duke who reads like a Regency villain (think Elizabeth Hoyt).
Riggins: a working class hero with suddenly larger responsibilities. Except the duchy makes a huge amount of money already and the Dead Duke was extremely wealthy from his mother's side. Not quite a billionaire, but a lot to lose money on.
And I liked the plot idea! A lot. However, I couldn't get into the meat of the story because it was all world setup. At 143 pages, I expect a little bit more movement. Apparently, it's a serial, but I didn't know that meant cliffhanger. I didn't get that far, thankfully.
No star rating. Just a DNF to add to the pile.
