The Scandalous Lady Mercy
(2016)(The fifth book in the Baxendale Sisters series)
A novel by Maggi Andersen
Dreams can come true if you open your heart.
After her four sisters married for love, Mercy Baxendale, in her first London Season, wants the same for herself. Her requirements are simple. The man she marries must be madly in love with her, and he must also be prepared to support her business venture.
When an incident lands Mercy and Grant, Viscount Northcliffe in the scandal sheets and has everyone in London talking, they are forced into a marriage of convenience. Although Northcliffe is quite the most handsome man she's met, he does not fill her criterion for a husband. Not only does he appear to be a man with secrets, he has a very public mistress.
Grant foresees no rush to marry and produce an heir. His grandfather, the Duke of Rotherham, and Grant's father are still above ground. And squiring a fiancee around London for the Season is difficult with the dangerous work he's undertaken for the Crown.
While he accepts that circumstances have thrust marriage upon him, he wishes his reluctant fiancee would be warmer. There's a decidedly chilly expression in her beautiful blue eyes when she looks at him.
Will they find it possible to overcome their differences and love one another, or will his secrets destroy their chance of happiness?
"Andersen writes an adventurous regency book that one wishes to keep reading, even after the story is done. This novel is part of a series but is a fantastic standalone work. InD'tale Magazine."
Genre: Historical Romance
