USA Today Bestselling Author Sophie Barnes Continues Her Romance Career with a Stunning New Novel: The Forgotten Duke
USA Today Bestselling Author Sophie Barnes Continues Her Romance Career with a Stunning New Novel: The Forgotten DukeWithout an agent and relying solely on perseverance and grit, Sophie Barnes launched her career as an author with Avon Impulse, an imprint of Harper Collins, in 2012. She made her print debut the following year, is the first ever Avon Impulse author to receive a starred review from Publishers Weekly, in addition to a slew of favorable coverage from the likes of Romantic Times and Booklist, and has since become a popular USA Today Bestselling Author.
Now, after shifting to self-publishing, Sophie Barnes is poised to continue the popular Diamonds In The Rough series that she began while writing for Avon—and fans of historical romance have a lot to look forward to this January when her much anticipated novel, The Forgotten Duke 9781078722759(On Sale: 1/28/2020| ISBN-13: | $15.99 | ASIN: B07XJ59X51 | $5.99), goes on sale.
About the Book:
The Diamonds In The Rough series has captured a great deal of interest, not only from notable reviewers like Publisher’s Weekly (“Appealing protagonists, immense emotional intensity, and a thread of suspense combine to make this a standout.” – Publisher’s Weekly *Starred Review* for The Duke of Her Desire), but also from a producer looking to buy the option for film. Consisting of well-crafted characters partly born into the upper class and partly trying to make their way out of the gutter, this series, infused with the swoon-worthy romance of Cinderella, throws Society’s two extremes together in a way not entirely dissimilar to Pygmalion.
With this fifth installment, the Diamonds In The Rough series continues with all the infectious humor and sensual passion that fans have quickly come to love about Sophie Barnes. Already a winner of the Top Shelf cover contest, The Forgotten Duke hits the digital bookshelves on 1/28/2020 to much anticipation from fans.
About the Author:
Born in Denmark, Sophie Barnes spent her youth traveling with her parents to wonderful places all around the world. She’s lived in five different countries, on three different continents, and speaks Danish, English, French, Spanish and Romanian (Some more fluent than others). She has studied design in Paris and New York and has a bachelor’s degree from Parson’s School of Design, but most impressive of all - she’s been married to the same man three times - in three different countries and in three different dresses.
While living in Africa, Sophie turned to her lifelong passion: writing. When she’s not busy dreaming up her next romance novel, Sophie enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, cooking, gardening, watching romantic comedies and, of course, reading. She currently lives on the East Coast.

Praise for Sophie Barnes:
“Appealing protagonists, immense emotional intensity, and a thread of suspense combine to make this a standout.” —Publishers Weekly *starred* review for The Duke of Her Desire
“Barnes has crafted quite the compelling mystery and family drama that unfolds across dueling fields and medical facilities for a romance novel that dips heavily into adventure and operatic danger.” —Entertainment Weekly (The Infamous Duchess)
“Sophie Barnes’ secondary characters are exemplary, and her ability to convey feelings is such that I shed tears over the fate of a minor player. The story is powerful, delicately nuanced, and textured, and so very moving and gripping. Ms. Barnes’ prose is in turns ethereal and of startling clarity, the dialogues are impeccable, and I was completely immersed in this magnificent story until the very last page.” —Fresh Fiction (The Illegitimate Duke)
