The Duchess’s Gambit: Scandal, Schemes and Secrets Regency Romance
Leontine Blythewood, Cressida Blythewood
Everyone expected Evelina to retreat — demure, defeated, and dependent. But Evelina has never played the role written for her. But Evelina has secrets stitched into her mourning veils—and she’s done waiting to be saved.
Pregnant, politically cornered, and surrounded by enemies disguised as family, Evelina is learning the true cost of legacy. Her late husband’s death wasn’t a tragedy. It was a move. And someone—perhaps someone very close—means to make her the next piece off the board.
In Bath, Lady Henrietta mourns too perfectly, her grief weaponized behind whispers and well-funded sabotage. In London, Cedric Harland’s charm conceals claws sharp enough to sever Evelina’s grip on Wakefield. And back at the estate, a trusted steward begins to act like a man with something to hide.
Her only true ally is Jeremiah Langley—banished, scandalous, and watching from the shadows. But even he may not reach her in time. To survive, Evelina must outthink and outmaneuver the very people who would see her discredited, unseated… or dead.
As forged letters, vanished documents, and poisoned loyalties close in, Evelina must will she defend her child’s birthright with truth—or with blood?
One duchess. Two enemies. And a thousand ways to die before dawn.
