This scandalous tale of love, lust, and betrayal was originally published in 1786, and was banned for its explicit content. Set in the high society of Georgian England, the story follows the fortunes of a young woman as she navigates the treacherous waters of courtship and marriage. With vivid descriptions of the opulent parties, fashionable clothes, and decadent pleasures of the era, this book is a feast for the senses. But beneath the glittering surface lies a dark and dangerous world, where reputations are easily destroyed and passions run wild. Will our heroine find happiness, or will she be undone by her own desires?
