Marriage Of Lies

Guilt about their love for each other is steadily destroying their lives...Since Sharla married the Duke of Wakefield, Ben's life has slowly crumbled as the knowledge that he is a mere commoner and can never have her eats at his soul. Sharla hides the truth about her disastrous marriage from everyone, shamed by her failure. When Ben glimpses a fragment of the awful truth, he knows he must do what he can to help her...and in the process he might just be able to pull his own life from the gutter. Marriage of Lies is the third book in the Scandalous Scions series, which brings together the members of three great families, to love and play under the gaze of the Victorian era's moralistic, straight-laced society.
