Synopsis

She may grace his bed, but she will never wear his ring. They whisper her name in the ballroom's shadows-- the marquis's mistress! It will take all of Alice Sweetly's renowned acting skills to play this part: smile until it no longer hurts, until they believe your lie, until you believe. Pretend he means nothing.
