The Viscount's Lady
(2024)(The first book in the Lady's Marquess Companion Stories series)
A novel by C K Mackenzie
He keeps his reputation spotless. She fights her reputation daily.
Trouble seemed to find her.
Lady Henrietta Carhart didn’t care what anyone thought about her. Unfortunately, the rest of society did. Stargazing? Building her own telescope? Dressing as a man to gain access to the King’s Observatory? Well, maybe the scandalmongers were onto something. Still, she hadn’t exactly planned on marriage. Even if it was the simplest and easiest path in life.
She hadn’t meant to escape out the balcony—rather, she hadn’t meant to be caught.
Aidan Ronalds, Viscount Wingate, promised his sister a proper season. He was, after all, the epitome of properness. He had no intention of meeting the most improper Henrietta Carhart—that was an accident he didn’t intend to repeat. And she wasn’t the role model anyone needed. Yet, in a world where duty overrode everything else in his life, Aidan found his attraction to Henrietta difficult to ignore.
Aidan knows his duty to king, country, and family. But what of himself?
Their first meeting might’ve been out of the ordinary, and far from what society deemed acceptable, but their second might send ordinary spinning on its ear. Because of course the proper thing was to offer marriage. But his thoughts about the lovely Henrietta were anything but proper.
Can Henrietta set aside her need for freedom and become the wife Aidan wants? Or will they both realize their need for each other far outweighs what anyone else thinks?
Genre: Historical Romance
