Romance

A wealthy novelist, loved by the public and derided by the fools of 'high society'.

A husband, so beloved that she is blind to who he truly is. A penniless lordling, he scorns her work and squanders her fortune on gambling, drinking, and adultery.

A loyal and loving suitor, rejected by Delicia's delusionary love for her husband.

The revelation. In the blink of an eye, love turns to hate.

A marriage now made in hell, impossible to escape, impossible to stay in.

----------------------------------------------------------

A heartbreaking and passionate tale of true love's blindness and destruction by the bestselling author of the victorian era, who romances were beloved of figures as diverse as Gladstone, Churchill, and Queen Victoria herself.

Here, she explores the snotty awfulness of those that claim 'breeding' and 'aristocracy', and the weight placed upon women who dare to be brilliant, or to love truly and honourably in a world filled with cads.

A searing story of betrayal and loss, all based on events known to the author.
