Prudence's Passion

My name is Prudence and I'm an orphan, a ward who is barely tolerated by my Aunt. She frequently reminds me that she's only being charitable towards me and can’t wait to marry me off.
Everything changes when I meet The Earl!
It was easy for him to conquer me and make me his wife. I was hungry for life, new experiences and I was charmed by his black eyes and worldly ways.

Becoming the Countess opens the door to the drawing rooms of High Society.
My marriage is different from what I expected and my husband often leaves me alone for weeks. Luckily, I befriend his handsome nephew Anthony who is happy to keep me company. We grow closer each day but I know he is hiding a dark secret.

Lord Marcus, a handsome rake, is introduced to me at a ball and I take his flirting lightly as I am a respectable married woman.
Will my husband start behaving more affectionately towards me? Will the friendship with Anthony become more? And what about the handsome Lord Marcus who turned me into the most envied woman in town?

I am torn between my desires and what is considered acceptable. Having one affair would cause a scandal but what would happen if I had more?
