Book Description: In charming, corrupt Regency England, Mary Anne Clark had beauty, brains and wit. She was also poor...so she entered an exacting profession. Spurred on by the demands of a drunken husband, a wastrel brother, and four children, she rose to the top. Mary Anne Clarke became the mistress of a royal duke.
But for her greedy family she needed a fortune-and she got it in the wrong way. The scandal rocked England from the palace to Parliament. A cockney wench was selling commissions in the Army! When the tumult died a duke was in disgrace, a whole army was disorganized, and a courtesan was the most famous woman in England.
