April 1819
One hour. That was how long it took Lucy, the widowed Lady Mansfield,
to become uncomfortable with her surroundings.
It wasn’t the event exactly. A dinner with her brother, the Duke of
Clarington, and his wife Charlotte, who was also her closest friend. But the
intimate dinner party the Claringtons held annually on the evening before
their ball had increased in size since the last time she’d attended, two years
ago.
Lucy had remained in the country last year after her husband of eleven
years died. Looking back, she supposed his death had been inevitable. It
was only a matter of time before he’d be challenged to a duel by one of the
many men he’d cuckolded over the years.
She’d avoided London because she couldn’t face the scandal that had
swept through the ton after gossip about the duel had spread. Her
humiliation had been sufficient without having to deal with the pitying
looks and whispers from everyone she knew.
She’d married for love after her first season. But that love quickly
turned to hate when the man who’d wooed her relentlessly tired of her
company after just one year of marriage.
The pain that overwhelmed her when she first discovered his infidelity
faded over the years. Of course her husband had blamed her when she’d
failed to bear him an heir. Or any child.
Mansfield had been angry, and he’d thrown his affairs in her face,
telling her that if she couldn’t give him children, perhaps another woman
would. It had been a move calculated to cause her pain, something at which
her husband seemed to excel. But when he failed to father even one bastard
—despite his diligent efforts to do just that over the years—he’d finally
stopped berating her for her inability to fall pregnant.
She’d stayed out of his way, and he’d left her alone.
