CHAPTER ONE
Violet Baker imagined a world where she would marry for love and not for convenience. Just that morning, her father had informed her that she would be married to a Duke. She would become the Duchess.
A husband,
Violet said dully. She was an obedient daughter and always had been so, but it seemed as though, if her marriage were being planned, that she should have been, if not consulted, at least informed.
Her family’s smiles proved that they expected her to rejoice at the news. Violet tried to force her lips to curve upward in a semblance of a smile. A Duke
she said faintly. How…how very unexpected. Who… who is the duke to whom I am to marry?
"You shall be the future Duchess of Pembroke, her mother said.
Robert Montgomery, the Duke of Pembroke, was the master of Camden Hall and was now visiting his friend, Edmund Wellington, the Duke of Essex. If Violet would marry the Duke of Pembroke, she would go away from her home and she would never see her family again.
Violet attempted to conceal her opinions and join in the family enjoyment. Her face felt stiff as she listened to her family congratulating themselves on the wonderful work they had done in getting her a husband from the aristocracy. It seemed to have happened to no one that a young woman, even one of merely nineteen, might like to have at least a bit amount of understanding of such an important decision.
She had noticed the Duke of Pembroke with his friend on several occasions watching her as she walked through the streets of the small village she had grown up in. He was an attractive man, but Violet heard he was immoral, and even though many women would have loved to be his wife, Violet found him to be distasteful.
She knew of his reputation. He was not the type of man that Violet had grown up dreaming that she would marry. She had spent her life dreaming of a man that worked for a living, one that came from her same social class, one that had morals.
It was this day that Violet would go to meet her betrothed at Mansfield Manor, Edmund Wellington's house, and even though her mother told her that she needed to prepare herself, Violet refused. She had seen the duchesses, the way they dressed and the way they behaved; it was not something that Violet was interested in. She did not believe that she would fit in with the nobles.
Violet was of pale complexion, long wisps of umber streaked with highlights of ginger that always seemed to
