The central character is the accidental duchess. She's the one whose life takes an unexpected turn. There would be a hero, most likely a duke or an important figure in the aristocracy. He would be the love interest. Additionally, there could be her maidservant or confidante, who provides her with support and advice. And there might be a villain, perhaps a jealous rival or someone who wants to undermine her new - found status in the duchess world.
Common themes might include love, of course. It could also involve the idea of unexpected social elevation as she is an 'accidental duchess'. And perhaps themes of overcoming obstacles in a society full of rules and expectations.

But who knew that she would meet another pervert who had been reborn and had taken it upon himself to imprison her. [PS: This is a story between a psychopath male protagonist and a neurotic girl!] SSS: Happy and sweet! 1. The male and female protagonists are reborn. They have two C's in their past and present lives. The male protagonist is half a month older than the female protagonist. The male protagonist likes the female protagonist both before and after his rebirth. 2. The female protagonist has a spiritual spring and is a perfect beauty cheat. 3. The author's writing style is limited. Don't have too much hope. 4. If you don't accept the relationship between a brother and a sister, you should decisively abandon the novel.
Self - discovery is also a prevalent theme. The duchess, especially if she is a young or newly - minted duchess, may go through a journey of understanding herself better. This could be in relation to her new role, her desires, and how love fits into all of that. For instance, she might discover that she doesn't want to just be a figurehead in the aristocratic society but wants a real, passionate relationship which may go against the traditional norms she was brought up with.
They usually feature a lot of historical settings. Since it's about a duchess, it could be set in a grand European castle or a posh London mansion during a bygone era. The descriptions of the settings add to the charm and the romantic atmosphere. There would be details about the ballrooms, the gardens, and the elegant dresses the characters wear.
Typically, there is a duke as one of the main characters. He is often a powerful and wealthy man in the aristocratic society. And there is a female lead, who could be a commoner or a lower - ranked aristocrat.
One well - known 'The Duchess Deal' romance novel is by Tessa Dare. It often features a charming story with engaging characters. The plot typically involves a deal between the duke and the duchess - to - - be, filled with love, passion and some drama.
There are quite a few. 'When a Duke Loves a Woman' by Lorraine Heath is also well - liked. These novels often involve the complex relationship between the duke and duchess, with themes of love, society rules, and family expectations. The characters are usually from the upper class in a historical setting, and the stories revolve around their courtship and the challenges they face in maintaining their relationship within the strict social hierarchies of the time.
I'm not sure about very specific ones for 'once a duchess' exactly. But in general, in the realm of historical romance novels, authors like Julia Quinn are quite popular. Her works often involve similar themes of the aristocracy and love.
Another novel worth mentioning is 'Surprise Baby'. It focuses on the themes of love, responsibility, and family that come to the forefront when an accidental pregnancy occurs. The story shows how the characters grow and change as they face this new situation in their lives.
