Lady Beauchamp's Proposal

Scandalous Regency Widows, Book 1

De: Amy Rose Bennett

Narrado por: Hannah Martin

A runaway countess finds love when she least expects it . . . but she can't hide from her past forever.

Elizabeth, Lady Beauchamp, fears for her life. When she discovers her dissolute and long-estranged husband has syphilis—and he wants to beget an heir no matter the cost—she flees to a remote part of Scotland to begin a new life as the widowed governess, Mrs. Beth Eliott at Eilean Tor Castle.

When Mrs. Eliott unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep, the reclusive and recently widowed Marquess of Rothsburgh is both irritated and intrigued. No longer in need of a governess—his young daughter now resides with his sister's family in Edinburgh—he proposes the beautiful widow fill a position of a different kind . . .

Torn between staying true to her marriage vows and her wanton attraction to the devilishly handsome marquess, Elizabeth struggles against the temptation to become his mistress. But living a lie is not easy when you have fallen in love. And secrets always have a way of coming out . . .

Contains mature themes.

Very good story

Overall it's a fantastic story with great spicy scenes. I will say it was a bit slow at first but by the time you get to chapter 12 you just can't put the book down.
