Hazard’s Mistress

Description

Drab companion by day, dashing gambling queen by night!

For nine long years, Louisa Stapleton has done penance for ‘chasing the scarlet’ in her reckless youth.

Now a marriage proposal from unctuous Mr. Rivers, who promises to redeem her ‘stained’ character, looks like her only opportunity to escape her life of drudgery as companion to her exacting aunt…

Until the unexpected opportunity to play the role of a gaming hostess at the Soho Club offers her a different future.

But while the night-time subterfuge, in disguise, offers her the chance to reveal her true inner self in the company of handsome, dashing Mr Felix Evesham, will the revelation of Louisa’s real identity as the disgraced and down-at-heel companion to Felix’s godmother, threaten her hopes of a future with the man she has loved for from afar for the past five years?

A humorous Regency romance with a riotous ending!
