Description
A beautiful and ambitious woman rises through high society by using her charm and relationships for power and security, ultimately revealing the costs of her manipulative climb in a morally complex world.

"This novel catches fire." -- New York Times

She set men's hearts on fire and scandalized a country.

An ambitious, stunning, and seductive young woman, Mary Anne finds the single most rewarding way to rise above her station: she will become the mistress to a royal duke. In doing so, she provokes a scandal that rocks Regency England.

A vivd portrait of sex, ambition, and corruption, Mary Anne is set during the Napoleonic Wars and based on Daphne du Maurier's own great-great-grandmother.
