The Accidental Mistress

Fleeing an arranged marriage, headstrong Lily Bainbridge stages her own death, disguises herself as a boy, and heads for London, where, in the guise of an independent widow, she plans to pursue a new life, but her masquerade is undermined by rakish Ethan Andarton, the Marquis of Vessey, who hopes to persuade Lily to become his mistress. Original.
