The Marquess' Scandalous Mistress

A scandalous woman, a handsome Marquess, a passionate affair, a scoundrel, a legal complication, a final chance for love. Lady Amelia Duckington is the scandal of the ton - a married woman, blatantly carrying on multiple affairs, and with a very sharp edged tongue. Inside, she despairs - surrounded by shallow dandies, her life has become an endless toil of boredom - yet she knows no other way to go on. Sterling Asterwood, Marquess Hemsbridge, is equally bored - faced with the need to marry, and get an heir, he yet finds the parade of eligible young women insipid and unbearable. The only woman who is at all interesting has one, unfortunate, characteristic - she is already married! Can Sterling and Amelia find happiness, and still be true to their duty? Or will a scoundrel take everything they both care about? Another delightful Regency Romance from Bestselling Author, Arietta Richmond. This is the sixth in the Derbyshire set series. Each book can be read separately, but the best reading experience will come from reading them all, and finding out what happens to all of your favorite characters! Pre-release readers had this to say about 'The Marquess Scandalous Mistress': "I am a massive fan of historical romances. As it was an era of modesty, you might expect no passion whatsoever, but Arietta does a good job of portraying the modesty, and also the passion, which leaves one reeling between shock and empathy for the characters. I greatly enjoyed reading the Marquess' Scandalous Mistress and also discovering words from the vocabulary of that era, like "betwixt". I think a good book is one where you thoroughly enjoy reading it and, at the same time, learn something new, which Arietta delivers every time!"
