The Muse of Milan - Dangerous Matches, #2

1819. Three years into her marriage, Adelaide, Lady Leeson, makes a dangerous discovery: she has fallen in love with her husband.

Tristan—stoic, honourable, and determined to stamp out corruption in Parliament—treats her like fragile porcelain, because Adelaide's mother insists on a respectable fiction: that after fleeing Brussels following the Duchess of Richmond's ball on 15 June 1815, Adelaide was attacked by brigands, leaving her "delicate" and easily distressed.

Then Tristan's closest friend returns—James, the half-drowned youth Tristan once saved, now London's celebrated poet. His scandalous verses have ignited a craze to unmask his muse.

James doesn't need to guess.
It's Adelaide—now Tristan's wife.

A lush, psychologically charged Regency love triangle of secrets, loyalty, and redemption—with a deeply satisfying happy ending.
