My Dear Miss Dupré

February 1, 2021
Thirty suitors competing for the sugar princess' hand in marriage may seem like a pretentious game of hearts, but the stakes have never been higher for Willow Dupr�. Willow is next in line to reign over the Dupr� sugar empire, but her father's illness emboldens the company board to issue an ultimatum: either Willow gets married within six months, or they will sell the company to their fiercest competitor. Willow agrees to the extravagant contest to find a husband out of duty, but she never expects her heart to fall so complicatedly in love along the way. Sparkling with vivacious energy, this romance launches Hitchcock's American Royalty series. Here nineteenth-century etiquette brings propriety to the entanglements of wooing and winning in love, and the theme of individual integrity underscores the charades of an enchanting cast of contestants. Fans of TV's Bachelorette will adore this historical spin on competitive courtship that features all of the glitz, glamour, and drama that the Gilded Age brought to New York City's elite.
