The Marquise of Wyverne is a truly deplorable and evil villain, the ringmaster for scandalous goings-on in the Wyverne mansion. His son, the staid Lord Drake, endeavors to be as different from his father as he can possibly be, and is no stranger to scandal. He has been abstinent to provide a role model for his step siblings and aid his gradmere, the Dowager Marchioness, in surviving this hellscape.
Enter Sophie Delavallois, the new companion to the ageing Dowager Marchioness, with a heart of gold and a thirst for vengence - against the Marquise who stole her inheritance, her childhood and her family! A grand scheme is concocted in unsavory back alleys that brings Sophie and Drake face to face. Sparks ensue and suspicions are aroused - what ensues is a steamy Victorian tale of revenge, most intense.
Will the aftermath of the scheme bring Sophie her heart's true desire or leave everything is more disrepair than ever before.
The only downside to the entire tale is there is no backstory as to why the Marquise is so dastardly! Thank you Emma Orchard for this diverting tale and Boldwood Books for sharing the ARC!
