Ashamed of His Wife, the Duke Took His Cousin to the King's Ball — Then the Duchess Walked In Alone

Ashamed of his plain Yorkshire wife, the proud Duke of Ilbury left her standing in the hall and took his beautiful cousin Isadora to the King's ball instead. "Your voice would shame me before the King," he said. So Mabel, the mill owner's daughter all of London mocked as the Wool-Sack Duchess, put on her blue silk gown and walked into St James's Palace alone. The whole ballroom fell silent. The ladies sneered. And then the King himself greeted her by name, and the woman they laughed at answered a French lady's insult in perfect French. But in a quiet side room, Mabel overheard a secret that turned her blood to ice: someone is slowly poisoning her husband, and the killers are the people he loves most. A dropped fan. A cruel cartoon. A doctor's deadly powders. A stolen proof, a planted packet of arsenic, a husband's moment of doubt and a cold cell in Maidstone gaol, while the Duke lies locked in his own room with a murderer at his door. Sit back, relax and enjoy this long Regency romance about a mocked, underestimated duchess who saves the husband who was ashamed of her, and wins his whole heart.
