Scandal of the Season: Daughters of Sin Prequel (Daughters of Sin #5.5)
Beverley Oakley
Reluctant chaperone, Mrs Charlotte Wendover, has been dragged out of widow’s weeds to keep an eye on Araminta, and to ensure another scandal-prone young miss doesn’t inveigle a susceptible young man into matrimony.
When Araminta lands in a compromising situation with handsome, eligible Mr Durham, the pretty, briefly-married Mrs Wendover acts with prompt creativity to ensure that she is seen as the errant female.
After all, a widow can be forgiven for being discovered in a gentleman’s bedchamber. And what real harm can come of the lie? Araminta’s good name will be protected, and it’s not as if Charlotte has any plans for entering unholy matrimony again – regardless of how charming she finds Mr Durham.
But charming Mr Durham, who barely noticed Mrs Wendover until suddenly the gossips claim she has committed unspeakable acts with him, is suddenly intrigued by the unassuming widow with an unexpected streak of boldness.
If society has ruled Mrs Wendover guilty of a crime she did not commit, wouldn’t it be a waste for her to leave London without at least seeing if it were a crime she might have liked to commit?
Learn how Araminta’s first season did finish under a cloud, how designing and unsuitable Miss Julia Preston did inveigle a susceptible young gentleman into marriage. And how reluctantly Charlotte did throw off her widow’s weeds.
Then you can decide which was the real Scandal of the Season.
