A shy woman can never find a boyfriend or a lover because she is not expressive and this always keeps her on the back step. Maddie was of this kind and she was sure in advance that she will never end up with a good lover. So she never tried to stress hard about her love life. It was apparently easy to move on this way but as time passed, all of it became difficult.
The people of society around her wanted to see Maddie in a relationship which means that she has to invent a lover so that the people can know that she is in a relationship. She invented a lover with the name Captain MacKenzie and started writing letters to this fake person just to tell the people around her that she was in love. Then she pretended that the hero of her life was killed on the battlefield after which she would not be able to love again in her life.
All of it went quite smoothly and Maddie thought that the chapter of this big issue would be closed forever. However, this didn’t happen at all because after a while the real Captain MacKenzie came to his doorstep and he had all of her letters in hand as well. The man was really smart in appearance and Maddie finally gets trapped in a love story which was fake in reality.
Any Duchess Will Do and The Duchess Deal are Tessa Dare’s favourite creations too. These books present love as a thing in life that cannot be ignored at all. Narrator Carmen Rose has also shown that he is very good with ironic situations and it is situational irony on which the story depends.
