The Scarred Ladies (The Chronicles of Loyalty Series)
Jessie Bennett, Jasmine Bowen

What do a scarred marchioness, a laundress with a face-covering birthmark, a naval intelligence officer, a woman with dreams of grandeur, and three king’s guardsmen have in common?
Five friends, tied together by true love, duty, or friendship, begin a journey that will change the lives of everyone involved. From the king to the pretty woman who does his laundry, no one is immune to the effects of the secret that will be revealed by a handsome naval intelligence officer and a member of the king’s own guard. However, their lives drastically change again when the secret is revealed and the laundress must go on the run with a scarred marchioness hoping to find a place to be safe at last. Finally, the two women face the biggest trial of their young lives when one of their closest friends is cruelly ripped away at a young age. Join Lady Nora, Loyalty, Nathan, Lady Mary, Alexander and Jerrico as they learn about life, love, and reality together—and in the process discover more than they ever wanted to know about death and betrayal.
Nathan is on a mission to protect one of the prince regent’s—soon to be the king’s—most valuable treasures, and his guard friends are also protecting a beautiful asset of the realm. However, each man must battle his own inner demons before it’s too late for love…and hope that they succeed in their missions, for to fail would be the end of them all.
Can Nathan and Ricardo protect the women they love and find a way to be together forever or watch as the Ladies are married off simply for protection and nobility?
Will Loyalty and Lady Nora finally find safety in the arms of the men they love or will they be forced to accept a marriage proposal in a remote location to stop the deadly attacks?
