Mrs. Budley Falls from Grace

Eliza Budley, a beautiful widow with no relatives, finds herself in a potentially advantageous situation when Sir Philip devises a plan involving the elderly Marquess of Peterhouse, who is wealthy and seemingly forgetful. As she journeys to the castle, she discovers the marquess is far from what she expected—young, sharp, and quite handsome. Featuring familiar characters from the Poor Relation Hotel, this Regency novel by Marion Chesney offers a sparkling and adventurous tale of love and surprise.
