More Than a Mistress

by Mary Balogh

More Than a Mistress Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In her most captivating novel to date, Mary Balogh, the premier writer of Regency romance, invites you into a world of scandal and seduction, of glittering high society and intrigue, as an arrogant duke does the unthinkable — he falls in love with his mistress....

She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the melee, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good. Her blue eyes were the sort a man could drown in — were it not for her impudence. She questioned his every move, breached his secrets, touched his soul. When he offered to set her up in his London town house, love was the last thing on his mind....

Jane tried to pretend it was strictly business, an arrangement she was forced to accept in order to conceal a dangerous secret. Surely there was nothing more perilous than being the lover of such a man. Yet as she got past his devilish facade and saw the noble heart within, she knew the greatest jeopardy of all, a passion that drove her to risk everything on one perfect month with the improper gentleman who thought love was for fools.

Review:

"A stunningly good work of romantic fiction. Mary Balogh reaches deep and touches the heart." — Joan Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of The Cowboy

"Mary Balogh is the writer I read for pleasure."— Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author of First Lady

Synopsis:

When Jane Ingleby interferes with a duel in London's Hyde Park involving the scandalous Duke of Tresham, he gets shot. He hires her as his nurse, vowing that she will share in his misery as he recovers. As she scolds his bad manners and learns his secrets, Tresham offers to put Jane up in his townhouse. Love is the last thing on his mind.

Jane Ingelby is no one's fool. A strong woman living in an age when women were dis-empowered, she nonetheless manages to defend her independence and keep her integrity. "No Man's Mistress" has some of my favorite scenes in historical romance, plus a sympathetic hero and a tight plot. This one is a keeper, to read again and again.
