A Lord Slapped Her at the Garden Party — Unaware Her Quiet Husband Was the Duke on the Terrace

At a grand garden party in front of the whole county, a cruel lord raised his cane to beat a frightened kitchen boy. Plain, quiet Mina Fairfax ran across the lawn and stood in the way, and Lord Hugo Fairfax slapped her across the face while everyone laughed. They thought she was nobody, the poor wife of a shabby engineer. None of them knew that her silent husband was watching from the terrace, and that in one minute a bell would ring and an old lawyer would announce the true Duke of Shalford. Even Mina did not know. But a duke can die as easily as the last one did. A burned church and a stolen page. A forged letter that breaks her heart. A poisoned bowl of soup, a packet of arsenic hidden in her sewing box, and a cold cell in Guildford gaol, where a doctor's daughter must stand alone in court and fight for her life. Sit back, relax and enjoy this long Regency romance full of secrets, betrayal, sweet revenge and a quiet love that finally finds its voice.
