Compromising Willa by Diana Quincy
Willa is returning to society. She hopes her return will banish the compromising circumstances that happened years ago, but many gentlemen still stay away. The Duke of Hartwell (who recently returned from India) is captured by Willa's witty and tart personality as well as her beauty. Yet, Willa's past suitor, Earl of Bellingham, still desires to wed Willa. Who will win her hand?
It all comes down to rivalry and compromise. Bellingham and Hartwell are not friends, hardly acquaintances. From past experiences, they are bitter enemies. Willa grew up with Bellingham and thought him to be the one until his desire to compromise her. She turned her back on him, but society already gave her a black mark. Men, women, and the ton all have different views of compromising situations. Truth needs to be said at the first which, of course, never happens until too late.
Bellingham was awful (which is intended for readers to dislike him since he's the cad), but he was crude and repugnant. Rivalry can be an amusing read (Harwell vs. Bellingham), but it got to be intense with the need to compromise Willa/marry her first.
Time Period: Regency, 1805
