Books like A Traitorous Heart by Violet Hamilton
Katherine Wilde, daughter of a rising merchant banker, resists her father's attempt to secure an advantageous marriage with the timid Mr. Pemberton. Her mother‑fledgling’s charm attracts the attentions of Simon Stafford, the famed and rakish Marquis of Staines, who is drawn into the family’s secretive affairs. As Katherine wrestles with loyalty to her father and a growing attraction to the Marquis, the story follows the tangled web of affection, deception, and societal pressure that defines Regency romance.
During the era of powdered wigs and polished society, the novel explores the friction between personal desire and external obligation, as the characters confront the fragile notions of honor and ‘traitorous’ moves that threaten both reputation and love.
