An accident, a beautiful housemaid, a handsome Viscount,an unsuitable affair, an unexpected heritage, a love transformed. Anna Perkins needed her job, as a maid at Havisham Hall, home of the Earl of Stanningfield, to survive, but one small accident was enough to put everything at risk, including her heart. Spilling a tray of jellies all over a member of the aristocracy was definitely not what she had set out to do! The fact that the gentleman in question was kind to her, and was, in addition, quite the most handsome man that she had ever met, was more difficult to deal with than cruelty might have been. Richard Maitland, Viscount Bellham, was instantly captivated by the beautiful maid he collided with in the corridor, jellies notwithstanding. Something about her fascinated him, and raised his desire, in a way that the husband hunting young ladies of the aristocracy did not. A rather annoying thing for him to discover, given that dallying with the lower classes was not on his agenda, and might even get him disinherited, should his family discover it. But love and desire have no respect for “how things should be”, and, sometimes, fate intervenes with an unexpected outcome….. A delightful romance in the tradition of Regency Historical Romance at its best! This is the third in the Derbyshire Set series, be sure to read all six!

Don Diego Sanchez-Zapata, Count of San Pedro, who Charlotte had been desperately longing for, from the moment that she first met him, was unfortunately late arriving at the wedding. A fact that Charlotte could only see as abandonment, especially as, when he eventually did arrive, it was with an unexplained, beautiful Spanish lady in his retinue. The handsome and very eligible Marquess Hemsbridge, however, was very much present at the wedding festivities, and more than willing to distract the delectable Lady Charlotte from her disappointment.

Resulting in improper behavior and moments of desperate despair, as well as ecstatic love. Can Charlotte achieve a happy ending? or will she make the wrong choice......

Pre-release readers had this to say about 'The Marquess Scandalous Mistress': "I am a massive fan of historical romances. As it was an era of modesty, you might expect no passion whatsoever, but Arietta does a good job of portraying the modesty, and also the passion, which leaves one reeling between shock and empathy for the characters. I greatly enjoyed reading the Marquess' Scandalous Mistress and also discovering words from the vocabulary of that era, like "betwixt". I think a good book is one where you thoroughly enjoy reading it and, at the same time, learn something new, which Arietta delivers every time!"
