First, this book is labeled regency but it's really late Victorian or Edwardian - not that that makes much difference to the story.
Marion Chesney, Jennie Tremaine and MC Beaton are all the same lady.
"Somehow I will marry before Marigold - anyone who will have me." When Lady Anne Sinclair vowed to marry before her spoilt beauty of a sister, she had no idea the 'anyone' would be the Marquess of Torrance. Long the darling of the ton - and considered quite the confirmed bachelor - he succumbed to Annie's charms and, almost magically, made her his wife.
But Annie's lifelong battle for attention had ill-prepared her for married life. In a tipsy revery on her wedding night, she blurted out her real reason for marryng the Marquess - and her husband's formidable pride shut the door on any further communication.
Only a crisis of major proportions could bring the headstrong newlyweds together. And no less than the chancellor of the exchequer with sinister political ambitions known only to himself, embroiled Annie in a dangerous plot that taught her the truth about her wifely sentiments.
